Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas in the History of Western Thought
From 37.15 € /h
I specialize in helping students understand basic philosophical concepts in the areas of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. It's possible to grasp, for instance, what Plato said about the truth or what Kant said about ethical behavior without resorting either to over-simplification or jargon. I assign readings and ask the student to write short papers on various subjects.

Prior to getting my PhD in philosophy, I spent years in newspaper journalism, where I polished the skill of relating complex truths with clarity. I also have a background in music, and have composed works for the Phoenix Symphony and other groups.
