SUMMARY:St. Cloud and ONLINE - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:Engage in lively thought-provoking conversations on what it means to live a virtuous life. There are numerous reasons the insights of ancient philosophers such as Epicurus\, Confucius\, and Aristotle have stood the test of time. \n  \n“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.” Epicurus \n“To know what you know and what you do not know is the mark of one who knows.” Confucius \n“Happiness is an activity in accordance with virtue.” Aristotle \n  \nWhat they have to offer continues to remain instructive today. In this four-session course\, we will examine selections of text from these ancient figures\, seeking not only to evaluate their claims\, but also inquiring how we might apply their lessons to our lives today. \nThis course will be led by John Houston\, longtime philosophy professor (most recently at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University) and instructor with Wisdom’s Edge\, a nonprofit organization committed to bringing philosophy to all. \nSchedule\nJuly 21\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nJuly 28\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 4\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 11\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST \n*$40 is the fee for all four sessions. \n \nParticipants are expected to attend all four sessions. \nRegistration\nWhile all are welcome to participate\, we especially encourage participation from those 55+\, as we value the rich history of life experiences to relate to the material and to other individuals in the class.
