In modern parlance, being a 'stoic' means sucking it up, keeping a stiff upper lip, and suppressing your emotions. That's a far cry from how the ancient Stoics understood both Stoic practice and emotions themselves.But how did the ancient Stoics understand emotions? How does a practicing Stoic work with them? And what are emotions according to the Stoics, anyway?We'll be exploring these questions and more by working through Margaret Graver's excellent book 'Stoicism and Emotion' to cap off this year's theme of reading through modern sources.To prepare for the meetup, please read from the Introduction through Chapter 3 (Vigor and Responsibility) and mark any concepts that you'd like to bring up for discussion.Massimo Pigliucci has summaries of each chapter we're covering, which you can find at the following links:https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/2018/01/02/stoicism-and-emotions-i-a-science-of-the-mind/https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/2018/01/10/stoicism-and-emotion-ii-the-pathetic-syllogism/https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/2018/01/26/stoicism-and-emotion-iii-vigor-and-responsibility/If you'd like to study this book with the NYC Stoic, but purchasing it is financially burdensome, please message Greg privately to get a copy of the book.
