March 1—Great Books Symposium: An Overview of Modern Philosophy

Loading Events

 

Philosophers and their ideas are sometimes the drivers of change, and sometimes they are reacting to change.  How did the moderns become modern? What were the issues and questions that inspired them? What was the character of their inquiry, and how did modern culture interact with it? In this seminar, we will gain an overview of some of the key features of philosophical inquiry from the 16th century to the 20th.

A webinar for K-12 teachers in the private school, the public school, and the homeschool.

Maximum Attendees: 20, so be sure to reserve your spot early. The session will be recorded and made available to those who have registered.
