Courses in Philosophy, Ethics and Critical Thinking

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Philosophy is much more than a simple method; it's a more general way of positioning ourselves, even a way of life. At its core, it's critical thinking and the ability to see beyond what's left unsaid and unclear, and to find information, question, and arrive at a more nuanced vision of the world.

Together we will begin with everyday facts to explore the foundations of philosophy, look for clues in the history of thought and learn to be independent in our critical thinking.

I also support the questioning of major texts and problems posed in literature courses, philosophy courses in middle school, and preparation for the Swiss maturity, see prep for university studies.

NB: Particular interest in feminism to better understand current societal issues is welcome. I reserve the right to refuse any indecent or misogynistic contact.

Extra information

About Me

Bettina est philosophe indépendante et autrice, spécialisée dans l’exploration des dynamiques contemporaines de la pensée et de leur ancrage historique, ainsi que l'éthique appliqué. Forte de plus de vingt ans d’expérience en recherche académique, en édition et en écriture, elle interroge les mutations du savoir, les formes de rationalité et l’évolution des cadres symboliques qui structurent notre rapport au monde. Son travail s’inscrit dans une approche critique et transdisciplinaire, intégrant notamment la philosophie continentale, la pensée jungienne et l’histoire des idées. À travers ses écrits, elle examine des thématiques telles que l’externalisation du discours et du sens, la dissolution des espaces de réflexion intérieure et la manière dont ces phénomènes façonnent nos sociétés et subjectivités.

Education

Bachelor's degree in Philosophy & French from the University of Basel, post-graduate studies with various diplomas from the Universities of Fribourg, Geneva, Oxford and Paris-Sorbonne with a focus on the history of ideas and medieval philosophy.

Experience / Qualifications

Academic research, various SNF doctoral projects, freelance work in a corporate ethics think-tank, work on professional ethics at the University of Zurich in Evolutionary Medicine.

Personalized history and social studies classes. Grading and tutoring of practical work. Academic and secondary levels.
I am a history teacher, having graduated with honors from UNLu and honored by the National Academy of History as the highest national average. I have been focused on private education for over half a decade, both at the academic and secondary levels. Beyond my specific academic training, I have been dedicated to the study of history and social sciences for 20 years (and to the creation of a library—of almost 2,000 volumes—that is available to students: if any material is required, it is digitized and sent). I specialize in ancient history, medieval history, Argentine history, history of religions, and more. I have extensive knowledge of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas. I also teach classes in politics, sociology, anthropology, art history, economics, and other social sciences that make up the corpus of history as a discipline. In addition to teaching highly prepared and personalized classes, he can also guide, direct, and assist in the creation of practical projects or dissertations, whether group or individual. For academic or school work, grammar and style corrections are also provided, along with tutoring to ensure the work is perfect. Classes are delivered in a constructive manner, with the key focus being on students truly understanding the subject matter, developing an interest in it, and discovering how their daily lives connect with what they are studying. Beyond academic depth and the presentation of the subject matter, a fruitful dialogue between professor and student is highly valued. This is my particular approach to teaching, but it may vary depending on the needs of each student. I'm also interested in sharing study techniques—beyond the specific topic we're going to cover—that adapt to each student's needs, since it's not just what you study that's important, but how you study it. * Finally, the class prices shown in the ad are averaged and referential; the type of work to be done, the number of classes, and the different dynamics and realities make it difficult for me to come up with a "fixed" price for the classes. Teaching is an eminently human service, not a trade in goods. Therefore: contact me and let's talk.

To do this, we don't just look at happiness- we look at human nature itself, evolution, the human brain, the body, morality, religion, emotions, meaning, self-actualisation, self-transcendence, and much more. All of these topics are explored from scientific and philosophical perspectives, drawing on what the experts and evidence in all these fields are saying.
