How to Love Literature Even More Through Philosophy
What if the stories you love could offer even more meaning, more inspiration, more fuel for living? They can. This course will show you how to deepen your love of literature by approaching it philosophically.
Leading an Enlightenment Life in an Anti-Enlightenment World
When Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Yeonmi Park, and Deborah Feldman sought the opportunity to apply their own minds to the problem of living, to pursue happiness and realize their talents and virtues, they devoted themselves to that vision as much as any hero of romantic literature.
