Philosophy for Philosophy Readers - La philosophie pour les lecteur*ices de philosophie - Filosofie voor lezers van filosofie

From 58 € /h

We begin with your own philosophy reading: What kind of philosophy do you enjoy? Which author(s) would you like to discover or explore further? Which philosophical text is important to you?

From there, the challenge is to deepen and broaden your thinking by renewing the way you read philosophy, through both new approaches and new sources.

A key element of my approach is working with both contemporary materials and classical texts. I specialise in topics related to politics and ethics, while also engaging with art, science, psychology, technology, education, and more.

Of course, I am open to any philosophical interests or questions you may wish to explore. For instance, I can assist you with practical tasks that call for philosophical reflection. In short, philosophy is co-creation.

Je peux également enseigner en français.
Ik kan ook lesgeven in het Nederlands.

Philosophy is not inaccessible! We must find the right way to approach it and give ourselves the time to get to know it. It should not be held as a secret for a small number of people. You can benefit from it. Despite the fact that it is often considered complex enough, if you just give it a sincere essay, you might realize that you really love what it can bring you.
I know that approaching a subject like philosophy or even the history of literature is not always easy. But interest can arise in contact with the material, and the way to approach it can really change the prospects of such learning.

For each student, there is a unique way to learn. So, let's see what suits you best.

I am graduated in French and professor of philosophy and I hope to meet you soon. Do not bring happiness and tranquility
I am currently a professor of French and an associate in philosophy.

This private class offers an exploration into rich and complex tapestry that is Chinese culture. Based on your interest, you'll learn more about Chinese history, philosophy, traditional and modern Chinese society, literature, religion, etc.

With China's importance on the international stage growing incessantly, I believe it's very useful to understand the Chinese way of thinking, to develop awareness of cultural sensitivities and to gain some insight in the history that structures China's perspective on the world.

Originally structured as a lecture-based course, the content can also be restructured into a more interactive learning design. Whether you're interested in ancient classical philosophy, dynastic history, modern Chinese society and popculture or the economic development of China, this course has something to offer.

Descartes is widely regarded as the founder of modern philosophy and one of the greatest thinkers of all time. But it is not easy for us today to understand his texts, written nearly 400 years ago.

In these tutorials you will learn
- to read and understand his most famous book "Meditations on First Philosophy",
- come to appreciate the originality and importance of his ideas,
- and, most especially, how to become a critical thinker and philosophize on your own.

Length: six tutorials (each two hours long) or twelve tutorials (each one hour long).

Note: The first tutorial will take place online. After that, the tutorials can also take place at my home in Brussels.

About me:
I am a retired university professor who still enjoys teaching. I have taught for several decades at reputable British universities. I obtained my doctorate at the University of Oxford. I have published many books and articles in philosophy. Among my favourite philosophers are Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, Wittgenstein and Heidegger.

Writing a final year project, dissertation, or even a simple essay for secondary school or university is a complex task. During my five years of law school and an additional master's degree in sociology, I completed dozens of written assignments in all formats and on numerous subjects, and I consistently received excellent grades. This is also true for my two dissertations, for which I earned a grade of 18 each time.

Writing can seem like a tedious task, but it's also an excellent exercise if you approach it correctly. If you're having trouble writing an assignment, I'm available to help.

Lessons, in Italian as well as in English or Spanish, can cover the full span of art history, extending to include film studies, visual culture, and aesthetic approaches to the subject.
Additionally, we will cover study methods, if needed, as well as how to properly write a thesis, including the correct use of bibliographic references.

I offer private philosophy lessons tailored to the level and needs of each student (secondary, CESS preparation or first year of higher education).
My goal is to make philosophy more accessible by explaining concepts clearly and progressively. Together, we will learn to understand major philosophical movements, important authors, and essential concepts, while developing critical thinking skills.
During class, we can work on:
understanding philosophical concepts;
the study of the main philosophers and their theories;
preparation for tests, exams and the CESS;
the methodology of the dissertation and the text commentary;
argumentation and the construction of logical reasoning;
review of the material with exercises and explanations adapted to the student's pace.
I favor a supportive and interactive approach so that each student gains confidence and progresses effectively. Lessons are fully personalized according to each student's difficulties, objectives, and level.
