중학생을 위한 철학 101: 미니 코스

*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! 

My university-inspired mini course is designed to introduce young people, with little to no background in the subject, to the academic discipline of philosophy. For advanced students with heavier background in the subject or who would like/need more individualized attention, I suggest 1:1 tutoring so we can explore the material at their level. 

Classes will be focused on students engaging in regular class discussions as I introduce the material, clarify concepts, provide examples, and encourage. 

This course will be 10 weeks in length and will include a 10-week discounted enrollment in the Philosophical Social Club so students can continue and/or go deeper with their philosophical discussions and interests.

Schedule:

Week 1: What is Philosophy? 
Week 2: Presocratics and Socrates
Week 3: Socrates and Plato
Week 4: Logical Fallacies
Week 5: Rene Descartes
Week 6: Midway Review
Week 7: Determinism
Week 8: Existentialism
Week 9: Moral Philosophy/Ethics
Week 10: Philosophy and the 21st Century


No prior knowledge of philosophy is required and again, students who find themselves in a more advanced position or who would like/need more individualized attention may benefit from one-on-one tutoring opportunities. 

*Again, all enrollees in the academic series may join the Philosophy Social Club for a 10-week discounted price where they can enjoy additional practice exploring fun conversation challenges with other learners who are also interested in having more philosophical discussions! The club's focus is a more informal and relaxed environment so a perfect place to just have some extra philosophical chat time!
