Series Details

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.

Tutor Qualifications

I've been reading and analyzing philosophical texts for about three years now, and have practice applying the frameworks in a real-world context as a high school debater.
