A Beginner’s Guide to Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of the most fundamental questions concerning morality, knowledge, science, religion, and language, among other significant topics. This course will introduce attendees to core areas of philosophy, addressing questions such as 'What is consciousness?', 'Is morality objective?', ‘Do we have free will?’, 'Does God exist?', and 'Does life have meaning?'. This course will explore how philosophers, from ancient Greece to modern times, have tackled these questions, and will equip students with the essential philosophical skills to engage with them.
