Philosophy Workshop: Little Philosopher
We often say, “I think that…”; for example, “I think I left my jacket at school.” But is this really the right word? Is philosophical thinking the same as the kind of thinking we do, more or less spontaneously, in everyday life? Or is it something else? Together, we’ll discover what thinking really is and see that it’s far from spontaneous—it requires significant effort.
