Guided reading in knowledge for living well....
This page is under construction. I will soon provide one-on-one guided courses in reading certain books in philosophy for the sake of life improvement. This is a form of Philosophical Counselling, for the point of your reading is to deepen your life, and/or to become skilled in ways that greatly improve your life, and you read in between sessions and we discuss the reading in sessions, including with respect to your life. Coming later in 2024:
A course in reason and critical thinking. This course will use Peter Kreeft's comprehensive text Socratic Logic, in order to train you objectively in reasoning, while also applying this new knowledge and skills to your life, so that you become more rational and effective in your thinking about anything, and so in moving through life. Reason and critical thinking are powerful tools for increasing your wisdom, and so your happiness.
A course in metaphysics, using several texts. Metaphysics is the study of what it is to exist and to be a partcular thing. In the ancient Greek tradition, metaphysics transforms how you see reality, including the meaning and feeling that reality has for you. Aristotle, one of the greatest metaphysicians, said that philosophy begins in wonder, and through metaphysics everyday objects and experience can become wonderous for us. This supposedly technical philosophy is ultimately a kind of rational spirituality which wakes us up to existence, and transforms our experience of life.
