About

Founded and hosted by Guillaume Beauquesne since 2024, the Stoic Agora is a meeting space for all those who question the major issues of our time. Illuminated by the contributions of great Stoic figures (and many others!), this contemporary, open, and participatory agora aims to bring people together and connect them to better examine our civic engagement together.
