Explore death and life's meaning across Eastern and Western philosophies: Stoicism, Plato, Buddhism, and the Bhagavad Gita shape how we choo
A symposium on the philosophical views on one of life’s greatest mysteries, death, as seen from eastern and western perspectives. We will examine and discuss together the views of the Stoics, Plato, Buddhism and teachings from the Bhagavad Gita. Come explore with us how death, as the ultimate unavoidable fact, can shape how we choose to live.
