ABOUT
SO WHAT...? PHILOSOPHY
“So What...? Philosophy” does not mean ‘so what’ or ‘who cares’, but rather that the basic response to questions like ‘so what is...?’, ‘so what does...?’, etc., is one simple answer: Philosophy. 

“Everything is Philosophy is Everything,” is one of our mottos. Far from an attitude of disregard, it is an expression of the idea that no matter what the subject, topic, issue or concern might be, it is rooted in the philosophical foundation of all things. In other words, our essential motivation, and indeed the ‘motivation’ of the world surrounding us, is a ‘love of wisdom’, a striving to know, become, experience, embody, better understand, and to whatever extent possible, integrate something. The basic insight is that to love wisdom cannot mean to possess it, but rather to seek, desire, emulate and protect it, gain and come closer to it, and that this pursuit is all things. 

The real task is not simply to assert that everything is philosophy, or even to believe it, but rather in each case to see and understand how philosophy is everything, to have fun doing so, enjoy it, and indeed to love the love wisdom! Such is the goal behind this website and all of its related content, especially Online Courses. All sessions are client-centred, using elenchic and maeutic Socratic techniques for sustained discussions of YOUR individual interests, questions, ideas and goals.  Come join the pursuit!

The class environment is always encouraging and considering, and the direction and curriculum are also tailored to your learning objectives and needs.
