Philosophy Socrates to Plantinga Course Kit

This kit contains everything needed for the Philosophy Socrates to Plantinga Course through Veritas Scholars Academy which explores why some of the greatest minds in Western civilization, from Plato and Aristotle through Aquinas, and to modern thinkers such as Plantinga, regarded philosophical inquiry as essential to human flourishing and the pursuit of truth. It aims to show how philosophy – and the study of it – can cultivate wisdom, virtue, and the capacity for reasoned reflection – skills indispensable to the examined life. Rather than treating philosophy as abstract speculation disconnected from reality, we will discover how philosophy can produce better, more careful, more persuasive thinkers. Students will develop a coherent Christian worldview and the intellectual tools necessary to engage thoughtfully with the world around them. A classical understanding of philosophy emphasizes a love of wisdom and the preparation of the soul. Questions of existence, of knowledge, and of reality will be examined, with consistent reflection and retrospection on the godly philosophy found in the Scriptures.
