How To Meditate Like A Greek Philosopher

In this seven-day course, you'll learn the philosophical meditation technique used by the ancient Greeks at the very dawn of Western civilization. In the first session, we’ll cover the method. Then in each of the six days that follow, we’ll meditate upon one of the major questions the ancient thinkers explored. How well do you know yourself? Is the universe in a constant state of change… or is change actually an illusion? Is the world around us real, or are we being deceived? How should we treat others, and finally, how do we find lasting happiness? Each session will begin with a brief introduction to the philosophical topic or question. And then we'll move into the meditation, where we’ll conduct some of the most famous thought experiments in history. If you’ve ever wanted to study philosophy—or if you did so in school and found it dry or boring—then this course is for you. Over these seven days, you will not only consider the fundamental questions of existence, but you'll come to your conclusions, as well. You will be practicing philosophy no less than the Greeks, and you'll learn about yourself in the process.
