EarthDiverse: "Philosophers Behaving Badly" with Peter Dornauf

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce it's newest Philosophy course, entitled "Philosophers Behaving Badly" available both in-person (in Hamilton, New Zealand) or live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a decent internet connection.

How often do philosophers of ethics call their mothers? We expect philosophers (lovers of wisdom), to live up to their ideals – those involved in the pursuit of virtue and truth. With a nod to the book of the same name, this 4-week course expands on this theme and examines philosophers who’ve fallen short of this standard, beginning with Socrates and on up to modern times with thinkers like Nietzsche and Heidegger. It’s the old adage – do as I say, not do as I do.

Course begins on Wednesday mornings 11:00am-1:00pm starting 26 July 2023 (NZ time).
For other time zone equivalents around the world please visit the course page at courses.earthdiverse.org.nz...
Please note that this course takes place over 4 consecutive weekly sessions only.
