Marcus Aurelius’ Birthday Anniversary Conversations:

Apr 26 @ 1:00pm EST ~ What is Good and Why it Matters: Stoicism and Ayn Rand Stoicism proposes that you should radically reorient the way you value...suggesting that most people value things they shouldn’t and don’t value enough the things they should.

But what do we make of this radical reorientation? What is right about it? What is wrong? Is virtue the only good...is it sufficient for happiness? And what kind of value do “indifferents” have in Stoic philosophy? Join the discussion Here. 

Apr 26 @ 3:00pm EST ~ Fireside Discussion on Marcus Aurelius The speakers will discuss the life and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, with particular focus on the relevance of his work for us today, coping with challenges of living in the modern world. Organized by Plato’s Academy Center. Register here to watch. 

Delphi Economic Forum

Apr 26 - 29 

The DEF takes place every year and more than 3.000 people come to Delphi from all over the world either to participate or simply watch leaders from all over the world presenting new ideas, analysing markets and debating over the world’s future. Academics, politicians, businessmen and leading experts participate in an effort to address the contemporary challenges affecting Greece and the surrounding region. The development of new strategies through changes and structural reforms in order to achieve sustainable and socially responsible development models of governance, with a geographical identification of Greece, Europe and the wider region of the eastern Mediterranean, is the goal that each annual event must achieve.
