About the Event
Come and join our eight-week philosophy course: 'Introduction to Contemporary Philosophy'. Open to all, this course provides a foundation to some key philosophers and methods of engaging in philosophical dialogue. There will be key readings each week and a few discussion points. Each week will be facilitated by an experienced member of the Wisdom Collective who will guide you through some key issues in the contemporary philosophical debate. Expect challenging thought, new ideas and perspectives to ponder over. You may take these ideas into your workplace, community/society or simply to question what we assume is the 'truth'.
Themes over 8 weeks are:
- Introduction to Philosophical Thought
- Existential Questions
- Ethical Questions
- AI, Technology and the Internet
- What is Spirituality?
- Philosophy of Love
- Philosophy and the Media
- Informal discussion and wrapping up the course
