Welcome to the fantastic world of philosophy! It’s an honor for me to be your guide on a journey into both the ancient and modern worlds of ideas and thought. 

The primary objective of the 40+ classes in the Great Minds in Philosophy series is to give you, the student, an introductory glimpse into the history of philosophical ideas, consider important ethical concerns of our times, and improve our logical and critical thinking skills along the way.

The Presocratics includes those ancient Greeks who pioneered their contemporary communities on the path to critical thinking about the world. Rather than relying on mythical explanations customary to the pantheons of gods of their times, they sought to explain things and events in the world through natural causes and materialism. Without them, science may have never held sway as it has today (certainly not in the forms it takes today), and their advances in mathematics and philosophy has influenced many of the  great thinkers over the millennia following them.

In this class, we will specifically investigate the ideas and schools of thought of the following Presocratic philosophers:

   + Thales
   + Anaximander
   + Heraclitus
   + Anaximenes
   + Empedocles
   + Pythagoras
   + Zeno of Elea
   + Democritus
   + Xenophanes

Classes in the Ancient Philosophy portion of this series include:

  1.  The Presocratics 
  2. Socrates
  3. Plato 
  4. Aristotle

NOTE: A minimum of four students must be enrolled for the class to run as scheduled.

Orientación para padres
These classes are offered in the spirit of self-directed, interest-based learning of the student. In the interest of promoting creativity and critical thinking under optimal conditions, I highly recommend parents check in with learners about their curiosity and potential interest in philosophy to confirm there is intrinsic motivation in engaging the subject.

Mr. Kelsey is a professional math, philosophy, logic, and language tutor, writer, and lifelong-learning advocate. He is certified through the Praxis II (5161) exam to teach high school mathematics (pre-algebra through calculus), but his range of subjects has included ACT/SAT test prep, college-level mathematics, science, logic, foreign languages, and philosophy. He holds a BA with Honors in Philosophy (with concentrations in Religious and Japanese Studies).

As of March of 2019, Kelsey has had over 1000 registered tutoring hours on top of 3+ years of experience teaching in the classroom. His extensive work in tutoring middle school, high school, college, and continuing education students (over 1,260 hours), as well as instilling his passion for mathematics, science, language, and philosophy in his students, has earned him a 5.0-star rating (out of about 450 ratings) on Wyzant in addition to his past popularity on Outschool. 

This background, coupled with a bent for lifelong learning, has given him a knack for finding and rounding out students' weak spots and boosting their confidence in themselves. I've helped many students find the joy in learning math, language, and philosophy by helping them "crack the code" and dissolve the illusion so often impressed on us that everything about these subjects is difficult, complicated, or even impenetrable. It's not.
