“We cannot conceive the many without the one.” Plato.

Life in the world is often unpredictable and turbulent. We tend to be at the mercy of events external to ourselves and accordingly experience happiness and sorrow.

Practical Philosophy is the way to freedom.

Practical Philosophy doesn't dissolve unhappiness or sorrow, but it does give us a way to overcome limits. With acute attention and clear observation we can regain freedom from the shifting states of mind.

In the process, we are able to recognise the components of our being and their functions. It teaches the value of an attentive life.

Theoretical analysis is not enough. Theory without practice is like music without an instrument.

For Socrates and Plato, philosophical action was the fruit of conversation and dialogue. The only textbook used at Plato’s Academy was the Book of Life.

This course is a lived experience, best practised in every day life.
