PP1#Week 1

The wisdom within

These opening sessions consider how philosophy can help us enjoy richer, less stressful lives.

What is practical philosophy?

‘What would a wise person do here?’

Philosophy means the love of wisdom. Our course is intended to show how philosophy can help us enjoy richer, less stressful and more useful lives. The opening two sessions consider these aims, and introduce simple exercises in mindfulness and the application of wisdom you can practise in daily life.
