How to Become a Philosopher, Or Just Learn to Think Like One, the Workshop
A live 3-hour workshop on Saturday, November 14. Early-bird pricing ends tomorrow.
Reading philosophy isn’t like reading a novel, and it’s not like a regular nonfiction book you can skim for the gist. Based on the popular post by the same name, this workshop is about building a reading practice specifically designed for you to engage with theory from your own perspective.
DEETS: Saturday, November 14 · 12:00 PM PST / 3:00 PM ET / 9:00 PM CET · Live online, 3 hours
What you’ll leave with
- A reading practice. A regular time, or a trigger tied to something you already do, and a way to keep that time protected.
- Practice with the C.I.A. method. Content, Intentions, Assumptions. We’ll run it twice, live, on real philosophy passages, so you can go deeper on your own afterward.
- Start an ideas notebook. How to keep a running index and start your own annotation shorthand, so the ideas that matter to you don’t get lost.
- A two-week reading challenge. You leave already enrolled, with an accountability pod if you opt in.
No background in philosophy is needed. The workshop is for complete beginners and for people coming back to philosophy after a hiatus.
