“Life has never been normal,” wrote C. S. Lewi “Life has never been normal,” wrote C. S. Lewis in an address to students at the outset of World War II. If we are waiting for a better time to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, we may never get started. In the Young Philosophers series, Gutenberg College opens its (virtual) doors to high-school-age participants for thoughtful online discussion of important ideas.⁠ ⁠ •⁠ ⁠ All but the most hard-core atheists believe, at some level, that life has meaning. But what is it? We will explore the meaning of meaning, why it is so central to our experience, and various approaches toward an answer.⁠ ⁠ •⁠ ⁠ Register at linkin.bio⁠ ⁠ • ⁠ ⁠ Leading this session of Young Philosophers will be Dr. Chris Swanson. Chris is the president of Gutenberg College where he has been a tutor since the college opened its doors in 1994. He has a B.S. in physics and math and both an M.S. and Ph.D. in physics. He has also done post-doctoral research at the University of Oregon and taught at Westmont College in California.⁠ ⁠ •⁠ ⁠ #meaning #philosophy #liberalarts #greatbookscollege #discussion #classics @gutenbergcollege ⁠

"Life has never been normal," wrote C. S. Lewis in "Life has never been normal," wrote C. S. Lewis in an address to students at the outset of World War II. If we are waiting for a better time to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, we may never set foot out the door. The work of the philosopher is to seek the truth regardless of circumstances, and one cannot begin it too soon. On July 23, Gutenberg College opens its (virtual) doors to young philosophers for a day of thoughtful discussion about important philosophical ideas.⁠ •⁠ Participation is limited to high-school-age participants.⁠ •⁠ Click linkin.bio to learn more.⁠ • ⁠ #wisdom #culture #learning #homeschool #homeschooling #sonlight #college #education #classicalconversations #philosophy
The Gutenberg board of governors is once again spo The Gutenberg board of governors is once again sponsoring its annual summer gift-matching program. As Gutenberg prepares for an increased number of students this year, we need to raise over $75,000 for student financial aid grants. The governors are generously pledging to match the first $12,900 of donations, for a total of $25,800 to help those students who need financial aid to attend the college. Our goal is to raise that amount by Gutenberg Giving Day on August 8. You can help give students an excellent education by making a contribution.⁠ •⁠ Click link.bio to donate now⁠ •⁠ #greatbookscollege #liberalarts @gutenbergcollege #gutenbergcollege
