In this special event, we’ll be joined by philosopher and author Will Johncock to discuss his most recent work, “Beyond the Individual: Stoic Philosophy on Community and Connection”.

Will writes on areas of philosophy, social theory, and sociology, having completed a PhD and taught in these areas. He has authored 3 books, as well as numerous book chapters and articles. Will works within a philosophical tradition that interrogates distinctions of presence from absence. One such study concerns how an individual’s thoughts, actions, and attributes, are products of what is not the individual. Will’s theoretical interests and expertise include 19th and 20th century phenomenological and post-structuralist philosophy, ancient Stoic philosophy, social theory, and sociology.

Will is also a publisher, translator, podcaster, and from a past life, amateur recording musician.
