Philosophy adventure

Practical philosophy from East and West in 18 evenings
Ready for an adventure? Join our course in practical philosophy! But beware: this course could change your life...
What is actually important to me? Do my efforts have a purpose? What values in life are really worth fighting for? What career should I choose? Should I have a family or not? What is happiness?
These are all questions that people have always asked themselves - and continue to ask today. Even if they may not be among the top topics on social networks, they are questions that move many people. For this reason, the greatest thinkers in history have sought - and found - answers to these questions. Of course, there are no patent remedies, but that's the special thing about philosophy: it can give you an orientation, an impulse in a certain direction - what you make of it is up to you, the important thing is that it doesn't get stuck in your head. Philosophy is not just about thinking and talking, but above all about acting: I learn new ways to shape my life. I get to know myself better, my strengths and weaknesses - and tools and ways to deal with these strengths and weaknesses in order to lead a fulfilled and happy life.
The basic course offers keys to understanding life. It is not about as many and complex theories as possible, but about putting into practice the ideas that move us the most.
The aim of the course is ...
... To experience philosophy in a simple, practical and realistic way. As an inner adventure to get to know yourself and the world better.
... to engage with the wisdom of different cultures in order to recognize that every person strives for something higher at their core and to gain confidence that this can be achieved.
... to gain experience not alone, but in a community and to find practical answers to the big and small questions of life.
