Upcoming Classes
The Phronesis Workshop July 15-17, 2008
Center for Inquiry, Transnational | 1310 Sweet Home Road, Amherst, NY
The goal of the Phronesis Workshops is to give participants practical skills to improve their lives. We offer some of the most valuable and personally relevant findings of research in the humanities and social sciences.
In July, experts from various fields, including philosophy, cognitive psychology, and mental health, will conduct workshops focusing on topics at the heart of the human condition. Each workshop will focus on a specialized topic for two hours during the afternoon and two hours in the evening. You can come for any portion of the workshops or sign up for them all at a reduced rate.
