Course in PHILOSOPHY FOR LIVING

Philosophy for Living: Practical Application

What is the value of thinking without action? Action is the real measurement of what we are, theory and practice inform each other. Each course evening will explore the practical relevance of philosophy and its potential to transform ourselves and society.

The practice of philosophy develops self-confidence, moral strength and resilience to face the difficulties and crises of life. It allows us to become an actor of change in our lives and around us.

The course offers a series of theoretical and practical classes to progress in self-knowledge, to practice taking advantage of each circumstance in life without forgetting to develop solidarity with others.
