The
School of Philosophy,
Cambridge
was formed to make the great philosophical teachings of the world available
to everyone.
The
answers to the great questions of life are sought;
Who am I?
What is my purpose in life?
How is true happiness found?
“A life that is unexamined is
a life not worth living” - Socrates
Introductory courses are offered which allow
you to explore these questions using simple practical exercises to test out
the thoughts of some of the great philosophers and make them useful in
daily life.
“life is not a
problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced”
– Soren Kierkegaard
Many, after completing the introductory courses find their
life enriched by philosophy. There are also follow-on courses for those who
have developed a real love for the subject where all aspects of practical philosophical
enquiry can be explored and enjoyed.
“He who is contented
with contentment
is always contented”
- Lao Tzu
This course is suitable both for
those who are meeting philosophy for the first time and those who have an
academic training in philosophy and want to try a method of making
philosophy practical.
What
do the words of the wise really mean?
Can
one really achieve contentment in this busy life?
“In twenty years’ time
you will be more disappointed
at what you didn’t do
than at what you did do”
- Mark Twain
