What Lifelong Learning Centre Students say about LLC

“Retired life has been wonderful so far, and the Lifelong Learning Centre has played a role in making it so. I love the overall experience I’ve had at the LLC, and plan to continue to attend courses there for many years to come.”

“I like science and math, so I take those type of classes. I also take the odd history class. I find that as I get older and have lived recent history, it is more interesting.”

George M.

In this short introduction to Stoic ethics, we find out about the role of rationality in achieving mental and social harmony. We are all invited to discuss the Stoic attitude to the world, which advises against too much attachment, and the Stoic recommendation to live justly, moderately and courageously.

Although the idea that political powers can be curtailed through law predates the modern era of democracy (it was, for instance, the idea that animated Magna Carta) it is liberal democracies that have so enthusiastically embraced the idea of legal limits. But does law inflict its own damage on democratic states by robbing citizens of their ability to come to the best resolution of many of society's deeply important issues? And is law's reputation and legitimacy degraded through this "political" role?
