About this video
In recent years, Stoicism has gained attention as a method for personal tranquility, resilience, and the management of suffering. However, the crucial question is whether promoting this perspective in a society afflicted by social and structural crises aids responsibility and moral action, or whether it can lead to passive adaptation to the status quo.
In this program, Hassan Mohaddesi, Masoud Zanjani, and Mahmoud Moghaddasi, hosted by Mohammadreza Vaez, examine the philosophical, psychological, and sociological dimensions of Stoicism. The focus of the discussion is the relationship between personal tranquility and social responsibility, the boundary between acceptance and passivity, and the possibility of critically utilizing philosophical traditions in contemporary Iranian life.
This conversation is significant for those interested in philosophy, ethics, psychology, and Iranian issues, as it demonstrates that when philosophical teachings enter the public sphere, they do not merely have an individual function and can also have social and political consequences.
