SUMMARY:Phaedrus - the Soul as a Self-Motive Adventurer in the Divine Cosmo
 s - a residential course
DESCRIPTION:Our residential weekends take place in the UK. One module is ma
 de up of three weekends. For more information on how we run these please r
 ead our dedicated page here. \n\n"Whither are you going\, my dear Phaedru
 s\, and from whence came you?" With these words Plato opens a dialogue whi
 ch might be called his manifesto of philosophy: it draws the reader in to 
 a consideration of the fundamental question of human life\, touching upon 
 all the primary teachings of the Platonic tradition\, and showing how inti
 mately bound love and truth are in the philosophic life of the soul. The P
 haedrus is the dialogue which offers Plato's readers the widest possible f
 rame for viewing the soul as a self-motive adventurer in the divine cosmos
 \, touching as it does the borders of eternity and the strange coils of ti
 me.\n\nOur studies will explore the profound ideas that lie behind the dia
 logue: we will look at the Platonic view of the soul as an immortal creatu
 re journeying in the realms of time\; the inspirations of Apollo\, Dionysu
 s\, the Muses\, and Eros\; our reminiscence of beautiful truths\, the expe
 rience of divinity as shaping our lives\; the path of philosophy as a soul
  to soul activity\, and much more. The dialogue is around sixty pages\, so
  we should have the opportunity to follow it in an unhurried fashgion with
  time to dig into some of the more obscure elements of the story it tells.
 \n\nThe weekends take place 17-19 January\, 14-16 February\, 4-6 April 202
 5- costs per weekend range from £175 to £200 (which includes all food an
 d drink and either a non-suite or ensuite bedroom). Bursaries and payment

 e run these please read our dedicated page here. \n\nBookings close 20 De
 cember 2024. If after you've read the dedicated page\, get in touch or com
