Description

For thousands of years, wise men and women have contemplated the universe, the role of people on this planet, and life after death. They've studied scientific phenomena, the essence of things, reasoning, beliefs, fallacies, critical thinking, and the dynamics of economies, societies, culture, human rights, and behavior.Today, you will learn about the most compelling ideas, the most prominent philosophers, and the most controversial debates between those influential figures.Western philosophy has left its mark on history. From ideologists attempting to alter economic systems and structures to wise men from Greece and Rome who discovered truths beyond our imagination, these classes will help you on your journey to become a better critical thinker, a logical, wiser analyst, and someone with a deeper appreciation for life, nature, and the mysteries of the universe.We will dive deeper into philosophical movements such as humanism, rationalism, Marxism, naturalism, deconstructionism, phenomenology, transcendentalism, hedonism, skepticism, metaphysics, epistemology, feminism, stoicism, empiricism, existentialism, and many others. During these classes, I have tried to highlight multiple perspectives and leave things open for discussion.This course will address ideas and biographies of famous philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Zeno, Marcus Aurelius, William of Ockham, Voltaire, Sartre, John Locke, Bertrand Russell, Martha Nussbaum, Friedrich Nietzsche, Hegel, Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Margaret Fuller, Edith Stein, Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Karl Marx, and dozens of others.Please consider learning from history's most gifted, intellectual geniuses. Join me on an adventure to study their inspirational breakthroughs, their occasional fallacies, and their lengthy processes to reach novel conclusions and revolutionary adjustments to society, religion, and science.
