Q&A: Philosophy Course
Philosophy Course
Question
Hello.
I’m interested in acquiring more knowledge and greater proficiency in philosophy—both in the breadth of knowledge and in the mode of thinking.
I wanted to ask whether reading the Open University books in this field would serve that goal. If so, where would it be best to start?
In addition, I wanted to ask about the course the Rabbi gave on the subject (for a fee)—what is its content? What is it about? And can it also bring me closer to this goal?
Thank you very much, and have a good new month.
Answer
I’ve been asked this more than once, and I don’t really have an answer. You need to read and let things develop according to your taste and interests. I know that the Open University books are generally good books. I’m not familiar with those specific books, but I assume they are. The courses I gave (there are two: Concepts and Critical Reading) can also help advance you toward that goal.
