11 September 2023 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm BST
Tutor: Darren Harper BA (Hons) PGCE
Go to all CoursesOverview
Historically, Western civilisations have ignored much of the wider world’s philosophy. Yet, if philosophy is the love of wisdom, there is no doubt that the philosophy of other cultures can enrich us further still. This day course will explore the contributions of Indian philosophy, focusing on the Rigveda, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
Suggested reading: How the World Thinks: A Global History of Philosophy by Julian Baggini
There will be a 1-hour break for lunch.
