EarthDiverse: 2024 Term 3 Philosophy course
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce two new Philosophy courses starting next week with Peter Dornauf:
• PHL 216: The Meaning of Life: Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm beginning 31 July 2024; 3 consecutive weekly sessions.
One of life's perennial questions, the one that gets the most airtime, especially in the modern era: What does it ALL mean? There are several contenders that claim to answer this troubling question, and our series of three consecutive discussions will explore each of them.
• PHL217: Loss: Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm 28 Aug 2024; 3 consecutive weekly sessions.
Schopenhauer once said that life was a series of losses. Like all philosophical claims, it is three quarters true. A good deal of western literature, starting with the story of Adam and Eve losing their Eden home, is replete with narratives that deal with the subject. Today there is talk of losing our own garden home—the planet. This series of three lecturers will traverse the theme of loss—that “dark underpinning of our lives”—looking at everything from the loss of hopes and dreams to the loss of love, innocence and life itself.
All courses are available as in-person classes in Hamilton, New Zealand, live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a good internet connection, or as video recordings available for viewing at your leisure.
