Abstract

It is fascinating to learn that since the lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the sale of Seneca’s letters from a Stoic have increased by 747% and the Meditations of Aurelius by 356% (Daily Telegraph, 5 May 2020). We might wonder what a Hellenistic School of Thinking, founded by Zeno of Athens in the 3rd century BC, could teach us today. In an uncertain world, there is much to examine in these ancient writings as preparation for the future. Stoic philosophers believed that the key to a reasonable life is learning to live in the moment and not regretting the past or worrying about the future. Therefore, to focus on the present is the cure for anxieties hovering around and ready to hit at any moment. If a situation displeases and distresses, the Stoics advise leaving or changing and stop complaining about it. I remember my mother advising: “like it, lump it or leave it”, as the recipe for dealing with difficult situations. The pressure of constant testing makes education tough for many students. The recent pandemic revealed anecdotal evidence that some students with additional needs coped better away from school or college pressure. This chapter considers learning strategies for political review and ends with reflecting on the big changes afoot in our rapidly expanding age of technology.
