About

We'll be going over different types of philosophies, spanning from the Ancient Greece era to Enlightenment to Postmodernism, and some modern authors as well. Although, we will mostly be focusing on Western authors in this series, I am open to introducing other authors as well. If any of these topics sound very unfamiliar to you, don't fret! This session is targeted towards beginners and does not require any previous experience.
