Course Practical Philosophy

This course offers you the opportunity to explore the major philosophical movements that explain human nature, freedom, and the purpose of life. From ancient Greek philosophers to modern thinkers, we explore diverse views of humanity that have developed throughout history.

• What makes us human? We study themes such as self-awareness, emotions, meaning and ethics.
• Free Will vs. Determinism: Do we really have the freedom to determine our own lives, or are we predestined by external forces?
• Human nature: What is the role of humans in nature and society? Are we naturally good, bad or neutral?
• The existential question: What is the meaning of life, and how can we create it ourselves?

• Deepen your insight: Gain a better understanding of the different philosophical views on human nature.
• Develop critical thinking: By analyzing various images of humanity you learn to think differently and more deeply about yourself and the world around you.
• Increase your self-knowledge: Reflect on your own beliefs and discover what you really think about people and life.
• Inspire change: This course will give you new insights that can influence your personal and professional life.

Whether you are new to philosophy or already familiar with the major thinkers, this course offers you the chance to rethink your view of humanity in an inspiring and intellectually stimulating environment. Everything can be understood, even without knowledge of philosophy.
