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.
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
