Reading Philosophy Part 1
MON 11am to 1pm UK time: 6 weeks starting November 3rd
Teacher: Sam Fremantle
This reading group is focussed on reading and understanding a variety of philosophical texts embracing all the major fields in philosophy: ethics, political philosophy, epistemology, aesthetics, and metaphysics. Philosophers covered include Descartes, Hume, Locke, Bernard Williams, and Robert Nozick. The readings are all available in the collection Reading Philosophy*, which those attending the group are advised to purchase. Those in the public domain will also be made available on the class Moodle. It is not a taught course but a reading group, so attendees are requested to attempt the reading in advance of the sessions. So, it will not be taught so much as ‘guided’. Because the guide is learning the texts himself to some extent, the sessions are offered for free!
Lecture/seminars will take place online.
*Second edition 2021, edited by Guttenplan, S.,Hornsby, J., Janaway, C., Schwenkler, J. Published by Wiley Blackwell. Kindle edition available.
Cost: FREE! (this year only)
