Starting Monday, October 19 at 10 AM, read and discuss some of the most famous texts of Western philosophy with Peter Vorkink, Chair of the Religion Department, Emeritus, Phillips Exeter Academy.

These sessions will feature authors such as Plato, Aquinas, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant and Hegel. Do not be put off by the supposed difficulty of these authors as there are many ways to make their work accessible to the non-philosopher.

The first session will focus on the first half of Plato’s dialogue Meno.
