PHILADELPHIA STOA

Philadelphia Stoa is leading the rebirth of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism to meet the challenges of modernity. We aim to resurrect the definition of what it meant to be a philosopher in antiquity: a person who loves wisdom while striving to live a philosophical life. Through the practice of applying virtue ethics, reason, and critical thinking to our collective human experience, we endeavor to unlock the personal flourishing that is possible within all of us... Philadelphia Stoa is a philosophical society dedicated to pursuing life through the virtues of wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage. We believe that the practice of Stoicism produces a rational individual, a united community, and an ethical world.
