You've been listening to The partially examined life where we share with you our reading

experiences of classic texts, but I think it's time for you to take the next step.

In my core texts in philosophy class, you will prep on a classic text like Plato's Republic,

Nietzsche's genealogy of morals, Descartes' Meditations, and then get

together on Zoom with me and other learners with a really interesting variety of backgrounds to

discuss this text much like we would on a podcast. You might be brand new to reading philosophy,

or you could be an old hat who is returning to these texts which very much invite repeated visitations.

Either way, you can consider this class time well spent.

The class is made up of 10 sessions running over 20 weeks starting on January 18th and concluding at the end of May.

These classes are structured so however little or however much work you want to put into those two weeks

between each class, you're still really going to get something out of it. Each class has a podcast

that the partially examined life has recorded. You might have already listened to it. I'm going to

encourage you to at least experience that. And I give a little spiel at the beginning of every class.

So just with that level of preparation, you're not going to feel lost.

But most people use the opportunity to read the text.

And for each topic, I specify, hey, these are the most important sections, these 20 pages.

But here is the maximal set of readings about what we did for the actual podcast.

And it's a very discussion-oriented format.

So I'm relying on you to tell me

what were the things that intrigued you,

parts you want to read aloud.

I provide study questions in advance
