To celebrate the new year, we’ll kick off our 2021 workshop series by going back to the beginning. What is philosophy? What does it involve, what does it do, and why should we care? For this first workshop, we’ll survey several approaches to the question, “What is philosophy?”, each of which will raise its own further questions for reflection and discussion. We’ll also take a quick tour of the major areas or divisions of philosophy, as they developed in Greece, India, and elsewhere, which will lay the groundwork for more detailed study of each of them, in the remaining parts of this workshop series, and beyond.

In this workshop we'll explore how have philosophers (over the millennia, in various corners of the globe) approached the problems of ethics, and what kinds of answers they've proposed. By focusing in this way, we’ll expand our sense of just how rich and varied philosophical approaches to ethics can be. Learn more and register for this Zoom workshop here!
In this workshop we'll explore a variety of viewpoints and questions surrounding knowledge, explanation, and how we make sense of the world. Learn more and register for this Zoom workshop here!
