EarthDiverse: "What to Think, Who to Believe? A History of Thought and Philosophy Down the Centuries"
EarthDiverse is pleased to offer again this Term its course introducing Western Philosophy with Peter Dornauf
WHAT: In the postmodern age there is a veritable plethora of ideas, beliefs, opinions, dogmas, dramas and viewpoints all scrambling for our attention and allegiance. It’s a jungle out there – the good, the bad and the ugly. How to sift the dregs from the dry-cleaning, separate the crud from credible assertion, disconnect truth from the drivel and trash? What helps is the ability to step back and obtain an overview of ideas that have entertained humanity down the ages in order to obtain a certain perspective on matters. This series of 8 consecutive weekly lectures will do just that. From Plato to Popper, from Socrates to Peter Singer, this sequence will span the whole history of Western thought from ancient times up to the present in order to help throw light on our present confusions and conundrums.
WHEN: This course meets on Wednesdays from 11:00am-1:00pm beginning on 15 February 2023 (New Zealand time). The course meets for 8 consecutive weekly sessions. The final session will be held on Wednesday 5 April 2023.
WHERE: This course is offered in-person in Hamilton, New Zealand, and is also live-streamed via Zoom and available globally with a good internet connection!
MORE INFO: More information and registration information can be found on our website.
