6th Form Philosophy series
- This event has passed.
Can being self-aware help me to make better decisions with others? What sorts of groups help me to be self-aware? How much self-awareness does any one group need?
Having experimented with using self-awareness to build values, in our penultimate week we’ll discuss them in a group-setting, working out what to do when others don’t share our values and how to make a world that can accommodate all of us. We’ll look at some case studies of groups using their deliberative power to change the world, and think about how we might do the same.
A series of free seminars for sixth formers, using philosophy to explore one of the fundamental questions of life: What is self-awareness and what am I supposed to do with it?
Series runs for 6 weeks (in person or online) on Wednesdays from 30 April – 4 June, 5.30-7pm.
To sign up contact your Head of Sixth Form or Philosophy teacher, or email programme@brlsi.org with your name and the name of your school. Please note this course is for school pupils in Y12 & Y13 only.
