The Philosophical Discussion Club for High Schoolers is a discussion-based class for older teens. It is an ongoing meet-up for high schoolers who want to engage in regular philosophical discussions with others. No background in philosophy is needed, just a curious mind!

Students can expect to join in relaxed but loosely guided philosophical conversations with their peers. Each week, I will start by introducing some topic choices and/or philosophical questions. Learners will be encouraged to explore what direction the conversation takes them in. I will help by providing prompts, guidance, moderation, and but also sharing relevant vocabulary, concepts, and/or theories when applicable. 

*This class is primarily learner-directed.*

Topic choices will be chosen by the learners themselves as we explore the discipline.

PREVIOUS TOPICS: 

- Origins of philosophy, branches of philosophy, philosophy of history and mythology, philosophy of art, nature of dreams, contemporary moral issues, philosophy and technology.

Prior knowledge of philosophy is not required and advanced students may benefit more from 1:1 tutoring or my more formal academic series course.
