About the course

Every human being has a body for action, a heart for loving and reason for knowing. The challenge that will be addressed in this course is how these three ways can unfold together to reveal a life of great service, love and certainty. The French philosopher Pierre Hadot, said: “During this period, philosophy was a way of life … Philosophy was a mode of existing-in-the-world, which had to be practiced at each instant, and the goal of which was to transform the whole of the individual’s life.”

Overview

In ancient times, philosophy was not seen as a merely academic pursuit but as a way of living.

  • How can philosophy become a way of life?

  • What are the principles of day to day living that will withstand pressure and change?

  • What is the relationship between balance and rhythm? How can we live in a large, universal world instead of a tiny house?
