Studying philosophy shouldn't be complicated at all and this course has proven it to me! With "The Republic" by Plato, one of the most influential and significant works, I've been able to reflect on important ideas related to politics, justice, ethics, women, and other social issues that are still alive and shaping our lives and communities.
This course has provided me with a huge amount of knowledge and methodologies for tackling texts that we sometimes consider complex. Despite this, in a participatory way, we've managed to dialogue with the author, the professor, among students, and draw contextualized conclusions and new questions about what we're doing as modern societies and where we're headed. The experience is highly recommended! I'm very grateful to Professor Will Ogilvie for facilitating these valuable learning spaces!
