A Guide to the Good Life: Courtesy of the Ancient Greco Romans

How do we live a meaningful life? Ancient Greco-Roman thinkers—from Socrates to the Stoics, from Aristotle to the Skeptics—offered wisdom that speaks powerfully to our modern challenges.

Join Ethical Culture Leader Anne Klaeysen in conversation with Massimo Pigliucci, K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at City College of New York, author of How to Be a Stoic, and co-author of Beyond Stoicism.
