Humanities Research Group presents, Donald Robertson, The Psychology of Stoicism
SoCA Armouries Performance Hall, 37 University Ave East. Please use doors off Freedom Way. Doors open at 5:40 pm. HRG events are free and open to the public, featuring open dialogue, audience Q&A, and refreshments.
Donald Robertson is a best selling author and former cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, who was born in Scotland but now lives in Canada and Greece. He is one of the founders of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit and the founder and president of the Plato's Academy Centre nonprofit in Athens. He is the author of seven books on philosophy and psychotherapy, including How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and, more recently, How to Think Like Socrates.
The Psychology of Stoicism
What can we learn about self-improvement, or even psychotherapy, from the writings of ancient Stoics, such as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius? Robertson will explore parallels between ancient philosophy and modern psychotherapy, in terms of both theory and practive. He will also discuss ways in which Stoic philosophy can help us today through the use of specific psychological exercises derived from ancient texts. He will also discuss ways in which Stoicism has been appropriated and misinterpreted by some modern influencers.
