A forum for discussion of philosophy as it applies to day-to-day life, and keeping a focus on those things that are up to us. This theme is common in ancient Hellenistic and Roman schools, such as Stoicism, Cynicism, and Epicurianism. The name “Philosophy as a way of life” is taken from the title of a famous book by Pierre Hadot, which seems to encapsulate what I’m looking for. This forum is not for speculation about grand social theories or esoteric epistemological debates (unless they arise naturally as important parts of more concrete discussions) – those are probably best suited for philosophy@lemmy.world
