- Philosophy and the meaning of lifeCourse start date: Mon 13 May 2024
Location on this date: Online
Tutors: Karl WhiteThe search for a meaning to life has consumed human beings since time immemorial. What is the purpose of our being here? How are we supposed to live our lives? Is there a God or are we just products of nature, and depending on our answer, what does that tell us about the way we should conduct ourselves? What do we even mean by meaning?! If these questions intrigue or puzzle you, then look no further! While we cannot guarantee any answers, the quest for meaning and the exploration of the topic lead to some of philosophy’s greatest thinkers and their reflections on this most pressing of issues.
NB: No classes on 06/05/24 and 27/05/24.
