Courses – Philosophy and Economics Philosophy The
Introductory course in Practical Philosophy is divided into three themed
foundation terms each year. It is every Thursday morning and evening. See Next Course for times and venues. No
special qualifications are required, just a willingness to have a go at
whatever is heard and understood. However, those versed in academic
philosophy can find this practical approach to living philosophically very
interesting. Students are asked each week to try out for themselves
the concepts presented and to discuss them the following week. Sessions
evolve according to the questions of the students Cambridge
Evening Meetings Autumn – Philosophy and reason Lent
– Philosophy and Happiness A series of discussions based on the
great teachings of the past and present, which students are encouraged to
test for themselves. The course will
interest those seeking explore the question, ‘How is true happiness found?’ Summer – Philosophy and Love The
aim is to bring the subject of philosophy alive, gaining a sense of its
richness and practical value in daily life and expanding our appreciation of
ourselves and the world around us. There is
no attempt to cover all philosophical systems, but there is plenty for anyone
interested in the big questions of life and the world around us.Each weekly evening session lasts about two and a half
hours, including a break for refreshment. Morning Meetings – No sessions this term
sorry Peterborough
Evening meetings The
lent term is on the subject of Philosophy and emotion What is
emotion? What does it do? How does it work? How do you resolve “head versus
the heart” questions? These Discussions are based on the great philosophical
thoughts of past and present, which students are encouraged to test for
themselves There is also a series of
Saturday lectures in Peterborough. See notice in “Events” for details. Economics SATURDAY MORNING ECONOMICS IN NEVER A DULL MOMENT! The year
2011 provided lots of financial and economic surprises – most of them not
very pleasant, except for a small minority of people. 2012 looks set to be a
bumpy ride too. This six
week course of talks and discussion will be focused on the various economic
and financial issues that make the headlines in Spring 2012 and perhaps some
which deserve to make the headlines but remain low profile. The aim is
to increase understanding of aspects of the fast-moving economic and
financial picture. No
previous knowledge of economics is necessary. Saturday At Emmanuel United Cost
