Are you interested in philosophical issues? Do you want to engage in discussions about values, worldviews, and concepts for a good life? But do you feel that there is no space for this in your academic program? If so, this reading group is for you!
The Philosophy Reading Group for non-philosophy majors offers students from a variety of disciplines the opportunity to approach, explore and discuss philosophical texts. It allows for the exchange of thoughts and opinions in a small group setting without requiring any prior knowledge of philosophy. The discourse is designed to help participants understand, critically reflect on, and share their experiences of reading philosophical texts in an open circle.
Texts will be selected together in the first session, taking into account participants' interests. Classical works from the history of philosophy can be chosen from a pre-selection. Participants are also encouraged to make suggestions! Session intervals and reading volumes will be chosen to fit well into everyone's semester. Possible texts include “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert Camus, “Existentialism is a Humanism” by Jean-Paul Sartre, and “The Idea of a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose” by Immanuel Kant.
Learning Outcomes
Become acquainted with basic philosophical concepts: Students develop an understanding of philosophical thought and the discussion of concepts through the exchange of ideas.
Cultivate critical thinking skills: Students will strengthen their ability to think critically by analyzing, interpreting, and considering alternative perspectives in philosophical texts.
Strengthen communication skills: Students should improve their oral communication skills, especially their ability to communicate complex philosophical ideas in an understandable way, through active participation in discussions.
