Description
Practical Philosophy is the exploration of knowledge, wisdom and ideas you can use to make sense of your world. It’s about discovering the truth of things – not in theory, but in our own experience.
This ten week course looks at profound principles that lead to a new outlook, and suggests simple steps towards living a better, more meaningful and serene life.
The course is practical in the sense that it is designed to be of direct use in our everyday lives. The intention is to stimulate enquiry and through this expand the way we look at the world and ourselves, conferring happiness and freedom.
The way of action is said to be one way in which the individual may seek to experience and become universal. We have considered the analogy of the actor both on-stage and going backstage. With this knowledge it is possible to act in a universal manner. We tend to spend all day long engaged in action. But what does philosophy say as to how this can take place in a way that is not binding but liberating?
Part 6B covers the following:
- The Sustaining Power of Love
- Focussed mind and wisdom
- The Sustaining Power of Discipline
- The beautiful organisation in one’s own nature
- The Sustaining Power of Duty
- The knowledge and power of meditation
- The Completion of Action
- Art In Action
