Now Open: Philosophy as the Art of Living

Published 10 days ago • 1 min read

The day is come my friends. My new course Philosophy as the Art of Living is now open for enrolment! Here is the link to enrol.

In the making for many years the time felt right to complete the lectures and record them in Florence, the capital of the Renaissance.

The course brings together some of the greatest minds of 2500 years of European history of ideas guided by one question: how can we live the good life?

The result is seven lectures that playfully introduce you not only to some of the greatest minds, and to their commonwealth, but also to metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology — all the while keeping alive the true spirit of philosophy: that it must speak to us in our existence.

The first 40 of you will gain access to this year's cohort.

The course will help you gain clarity about your life and how to self-cultivate to achieve the fullness of form.

Hope to see you inside. Here is the link to the enrolment page.

Any questions on the course? Don't hesitate to respond to this email.

Kind regards,
Johannes A. Niederhauser

Ironically, one course...

"It's true Philosophy!" What our students are saying

When I conceptualised Philosophy as the Art of Living I wanted to create a course that is true philosophy. The kind of philosophy you'd expect beyond scholarly jargon and fruitless academic debates. The kind of philosophy that is life-affirming and embellishing. But don't take my word for it. Here is what one of my students says: "I'm throughly enjoying this course, aside from the extremely generous pricing, it's a great way to engage with philosophy in a pressure free way when I need a break...
