Philosophy and the History of Philosophy (Socrates onward...)

""Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind."
-Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason.

This short but great quote is one of the reasons why Philosophy is such a unique discipline. Philosophy has the magnificent ability of exposing us to a broad field of ideas (like the one formulated by Kant) ranging between Metaphysics, Ethics, Ontology, Epistemology, Aesthetics, etc. and permitting them to enter our minds as they challenge our current worldviews. In addition, philosophy grants us a view of the tumultuous development and change of thought throughout different historical epochs.

About this course: I know that Philosophy is not an easy subject, especially in the initial courses where professors commonly point at a random chair and try to make profound points about Platonic thought. I offer help to anyone who needs help with homework, assignments, tests, readings, etc. I am here for you.

My main interests: Early Greek, Stoicism, Medieval, Enlightenment, Post-Enlightenment, Existentialism, Post-Structuralism.

About Me

Hello,

My name is Daniel, I primarily work as a pilot in the United States but am currently on vacation between jobs so I decided to pursue my other love during this time: Philosophy. I started studying Philosophy about five years ago when I took a PHIL 101 course in my University. That class convinced me to pursue a BA in philosophy as a 2nd major, in which I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I love discussing issues that emerged within the cannon of philosophy (especially western) with friends of mine who share a common interest. I have much experience tutoring philosophy in my University. It was a wonderful privilege to share my education with others and hear their novel and challenging thoughts on the subject matter. I now offer this service to anyone who loves this discipline as much as I do or is trying to love it.

Pablo García
Philosophy course for ESO and Baccalaureate students
Hello, I am Pablo García, a graduate in Philosophy from the University of Oviedo, holder of a master's degree in this field awarded by the universities of Oviedo, Salamanca and Valencia and I am currently a PhD student in Philosophy of Science at the University of Oviedo, and I am delighted to offer this online course to help those high school students who are having problems with this subject. The main objective of this class is to provide help to students who are having difficulties with this particular subject. From the pre-Socratics to the philosophers of suspicion, all the content required by the student will be taught, always in the most relaxed and friendly environment possible. My main goal is to ensure that the student passes and, if possible, becomes a little interested in this abstract but beautiful discipline. Greetings and I hope to see you in my class.

A study of the revealed books, Lesson One: “Come, let us ascend.”
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I am pleased to present to you a reading and analysis of the texts of the holy books of the people of monotheism. Maybe I'll start from Isaiah's prophecy. And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many peoples shall come, and they shall say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he shall teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
