Synopsis

Plato’s Academy, Aristotle’s Lyceum, Epicurus’ Garden, the Stoics, the Sceptics—all these philosophical schools from classical Athens had their own prescriptions for you on how to lead the best possible life.

But which one would work best for you?

What would each school have to say about our current ethical issues? Which school’s answers best match your own ethical views? 

Find out tonight as our panelists tackle questions from the moderator and the audience about how each ancient school would respond to 21st century political and ethical crises.
