| Dear Fellow American, Throughout history, a few great philosophers have left an enduring mark on Western civilization. Their work has shaped how we understand our world today. You may know many of their names: Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Hume, Kant, and Nietzsche. But how well do you know what they wrote? How deeply do you understand their most important arguments? You may have always thought that philosophy was for a certain type of person. But we at Hillsdale College believe philosophy is for everyone...including you! That’s why Hillsdale College is launching a new free online course, “Introduction to Western Philosophy”, on September 8, 2020. This course will help you explore the most fundamental questions, including: Does God exist? Is there an objective moral order? Can we know anything with certainty? You were made to pursue this knowledge. But it takes work. Hillsdale College’s new free online course, “Introduction to Western Philosophy,” is here to help, with some of the best philosophers in the Western tradition as your guides. You’re invited to pre-register today for this exciting new online course—completely free of charge—which premieres on September 8, 2020. Best Regards, Kyle Murnen, ’09 Director of Online Learning Hillsdale College |
