Hey everyone, this podcast is brought to you by Duke University's Eritay initiative. This summer,

from July 9th to the 14th, they're going to be hosting the high school summer seminar

on ethics, philosophy, and religion on Duke's campus in Durham, North Carolina. This seminar

will prepare high school students with a roadmap for approaching those same subjects in college.

Using texts from literature, philosophy, and theology,

the seminar will examine such topics as the meaning of virtue, the substance of human nature,

the question of human flourishing, the metaphysics of reality, and the nature of truth.

Students will also discuss the idea's natural law, the relationship between philosophy and theology,

and the relationship between science and religion. This seminar is taught by several Duke University instructors and professors

and is open to current high school students entering their junior or senior years.

There is no fee associated with applying or attending,

and those admitted will be housed in the Duke dormitories and provided with meal cards.

Students interested in applying should email John Rose at john.rose at Duke.edu.

That's joh-h-n.roesc at duke.edu. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until
