Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers

Catalog description

We turn to philosophy for the same reasons we travel: to see the world from a different perspective, to unearth hidden beauty, and to find new ways of being. We want to learn how to embrace wonder. Face regrets. Sustain hope. From Socrates and ancient Athens to Simone de Beauvoir and twentieth-century Paris, this course explores philosophers (and places) who help us navigate today’s chaotic times.
