Description

What IS philosophy, as an academic discipline? And for kids/teens? In this trial/introductory class, come explore what the field of philosophy is all about and how it is still very relevant and important today! (There is a class for kids 10-13 and another one for ages 14 - 18, or the class can be taken as a 1:1 course)

*Important: Due to the discussion-based and interactive nature of the class, cameras are required to be kept on for the duration of class. Thank you! :)

Many people do not learn what philosophy as a discipline is until they end up taking a college course as an adult. That was my own first "introduction" to philosophy! I absolutely loved learning about the discipline but I found so many stereotypes still existed about what philosophy even was. Was it a particular type of belief? Was it only for ancient people? Was it only for certain types of people or maybe not even relevant until you were much older? I found so many misunderstandings of the discipline that I loved so much that I desired to teach introductory college courses myself! I wanted to show people that it was all about tapping into our natural traits of curiosity, wonder, creativity, and critical thinking -- and those were skills we all have access to! 

Come explore how philosophical thinking is available to all of us, no matter our age and is not only a relevant discipline today, but will always hold invaluable tools that benefit humanity. We are born with philosophical abilities, the key is not to lose them, and  keeping them strong into adulthood will serve us well!
