This is a reading and discussion course based on Marietta McCarty’s book How Philosophy Can Change Your Life, which will be the text for the course (available on Amazon). Each week, we will read and explore the significance of one of the book’s 10 chapters: for example, “Simplicity,” “Perspective,” “Belonging” and “Joy.” We will discuss in each chapter two well-known philosophers whose works lend themselves to an investigation of that chapter’s idea. Please read the “Welcome” section of the text for the first class.
