Cultivating wisdom and leading a better life through the practice of philosophy. Philosophy, as conceived by Socrates and his followers, uses reflection, argument, and discussion, to guide how we think, feel, and act in everyday life—in relationships, work, meals, solitude, and the classroom. Combines traditional reading and writing assignments with philosophical practices to examine the views of Socrates, Aristotle, Epicurus, the Ancient Stoics, and the Ancient Skeptics.
