November 6, 2023 - First Monday Epicurean Philosophy Discussion

This next Monday is our First Monday Zoom - meet-and-greet and philosophy discussion. This is a great way to meet others who are studying the philosophy of Epicurus and bring up any questions you might have. We welcome those who are new to the forum and also long-time members as well. If you haven't yet participated in a First Monday Zoom meeting, please message me for further info.

Agenda for the evening: We will run about an hour, and start with greetings. Then move to open discussion on Epicurean philosophy and Q&A for any who have questions.

And a possible discussion topic: The Epicurean lifestyle - implementing core Epicurean principals.

Hope to see you there!

Just a reminder that this next Monday is our First Monday Epicurean Philosophy Discussion - 8pm ET - via Zoom - meet-and-greet and discussion! If you haven't yet attended a Zoom and you are interested in attending, let us know here in this thread or private message me, and I will get the link to you.

We'd enjoy getting to meet some of you who have been posting lately -- burninglights - @Blank_Emu43 - Jo. ...and others who have been visiting Lowri834  Plantpierogi

And European time zone members (wanted to include you though realize it may be inconvenient time) Titus  Peter Konstans  Eoghan Gardiner

fyi - with Zoom there are some of us who choose to use voice only, so it isn't a requirement to use video.

Will be sending a private message with Zoom link to our regulars.

Thanks for the invite though! Maybe one day I’ll be able to.

You're welcome, and hope to see when you can

Thanks for the invitation Kalosyni! It would be great to chat with you all in a meet but unfortunately I also have a conflict at that time

You're welcome, and perhaps sometime in the future we may have a meeting earlier in the daytime (perhaps on a weekend...since an earlier time such as 2pm ET would also allow for some of our European members to attend). Hope your daylight savings time transition turns out okay. Looking forward to seeing your continued posts on the forum.

Eoghan Gardiner sorry to hear you can't make it, hope to see you on a Zoom sometime in future.

Last night we had a good meeting, and a total of eight of us! I brought up the following two questions which you can read in the following thread. If you missed the meeting, but would like to weigh in on the discussion topic, please feel free to do so:

RE: What Makes Someone "An Epicurean?"

Last night at our Zoom meeting I brought up the discussion question of "What makes someone an Epicurean?" and also followed that with "Would you consider yourself an Epicurean?" ...and we had lots of interesting thoughts shared on these two questions.

Here are a few of the points (of what I can remember) which came up regarding whether someone considers themselves to be an Epicurean:

-- a person adopts that label for themselves

-- the study and implementation of the philosophy of Epicurus
