Welcome
Practical philosophy belongs to everyone. It connects everyone – to themselves, to each other, to their humanity – to their natural condition.
The practical courses in the School of Philosophy give you the tools to find out how yoga works; what Zen means in action; what the great teachers of the east and the west meant when they spoke to the people around them.
Above all, practical philosophy gives you self-knowledge.
It teaches you about yourself.
It gives you the means to find out more and more and more about yourself, your relationships, your world.
It puts you in the company of teachers like Socrates, Sankara, the Buddha, Christ, Krishna; you can ask Plato for help with Aristotle; Einstein to explain Epicurus; Marcus Aurelius to illuminate Confucius; Mullah Nasrudin for Sufi insight; Shakespeare to find out how all the world’s a stage.
Practical philosophy looks for the connecting thread in all of this.
