Why Philosophy Still Matters
Virtual
In the ancient world, philosophy shaped how people understood life, society, and citizenship. Questions such as "What makes a life meaningful?" and "What does a just society look like?" were central to everyday conversations.
Today, philosophy is sometimes seen as abstract or as a luxury for those with extra time. In reality, it provides practical tools for clear thinking, better decision-making, and purposeful living.
Join us on Friday, November 14, when Jessica Brown from the Department of Education, Philosophy, and Religion will explore how studying philosophy can enrich our lives and sharpen our critical thinking skills.
