Mind, Self, and Consciousness: An Introduction to Philosophy

Von 35.85 $ /Std

What is the nature of consciousness? Is there a self? Is the mind identical to the brain? Can life have meaning in a physical universe?

These are big questions that philosophy can help tackle. Together, we will talk about how to understand these questions more precisely, look at some answers, and learn how to approach both questions and answers using critical thinking tools.

Who is this class for? Students who've never taken philosophy, adults who are interested in exploring big ideas, and scientists and entrepreneurs who'd like to learn how to think about these questions in a more rigorous way.

Zusätzliche Informationen

No special preparation is necessary. You can come with a specific question that you need some help thinking about, or with a broad interest in some philosophical topic. We can then set concrete objectives for making progress on your question, or have a more informal discussion about the topic that is of interest to you.

Philosophy of Religion: Thinking Deeply about Faith

35.85 $ /Std

Together, we'll explore core questions in philosophy of religion: Does God exist? What's the difference between religion and spirituality? Is it possible to prove that there is a supernatural realm? What does a materialist worldview imply about the existence of the mind - or the soul? Can life be meaningful without faith?
Whether you just started thinking more about these issues - or have been pondering these questions for a while - this class will help you gain clarity about your beliefs (and experiences) and help you move forward in your journey.

Trained in several cognitive approaches and thanks to advances in neuroscience, I discover with the student his personal learning profile on 3 major stages - his understanding profile - his motivation profile and finally his identity profile. This can be done over 1 or 2 2-hour sessions. If more the student wants to know his dominant in multiple intelligences, I carry out the study on another session of one hour. Once he has this new knowledge about himself, he can then organize his learning methods taking into account these elements: he will therefore be a facilitator for him.

Have you always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt? Have you always dreamed about learning more about the mysteries of this fascinating ancient civilization? Then this is the course for you!

Have you always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt? Have you always dreamed of learning more about this fascinating and mysterious culture? Then this course is just right for you!

Be semper stato affascinato dall'antico Egitto? Have you ever heard of conoscere meglio and the mystery of this fascinating civility? Allora questo è il corso per te!

Teaching approach:
I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt, and during my studies of Foreign Languages and Literature at Turin University, I took Egyptology for one year. I studied with Professor Silvio Curto, a well-known Egyptologist who was the Director of the Turin Museum for many years. Since my studies I have kept reading Egyptology texts and enriching my knowledge, my main interest and specialization being ancient Egyptian mythology, deities (and especially goddesses), as well as magic.

Course program:
Turin is the city in which I was born, raised and where I lived for a long time. This city is closely linked to ancient Egypt, since it houses the oldest Egyptian Museum worldwide, and still one of the most important collections in the world.

In this course we are going to visit the Museo Egizio in Turin virtually, and we are going to read and discuss interesting texts written by Egyptologists, discussing many fascinating topics, such as ancient Egyptian magic, mythology, gods and goddesses, women in Ancient Egypt and many more. And if you visit Turin, a live lesson in the Egyptian Museum in the form of a guided visit can be arranged!

In this course we will virtually tour the 'Museo Egizio' in Turin and we will talk about many fascinating topics such as Egyptian magic, deities, famous pharaohs, amulets, ancient Egyptian art and much more. We will also answer interesting questions: When did ancient Egypt begin? How old were the Egyptians? Were women equal? What colors were there in the Egyptian language? And if you're visiting Turin, there's also the option to organize a live lesson in the form of a shared tour of the Egyptian Museum!

In the course of a virtual visit to the Egyptian Museum of Torino and to the audience of many fascinating arguments: the pyramids and the temples of Abu Simbel, the amulet of all the divine egizie, the Valle dei Re and the Regine as the ruins of the ancient Egitto woman. This visit to Torino can also be organized as a living lesson in the form of a visit to the Egyptian Museum!

-Do you prefer to analyze the texts as closely as possible?
- Or do you simply need to prepare for an exam?

We will find the method that suits you!

Hello you wonderful person! :-)

I would like to work with you individually so that together we can discover your great sides and bring them to light, so that you too can live your true self and thus rest in your center and be more satisfied with yourself.

Note: To ensure quality, I do not offer this program as a single lesson, but as a booking package of at least 5 sessions.

I look forward to your inquiry so that I can start developing your potential. :-)

It starts with you

When you are not with yourself
and decide for yourself,
others will not be able to learn from you,
how to love you.
They will follow you
and neglect you,
if you neglect yourself.
They will despise you,
as you despise yourself.

You will assume
that their opinion is also yours,
because you don't say yours.
They will ask you little,
but tell you a lot.
They will expect you
that you join in, laugh along, vote along
and do not ask, challenge or deny.

They will treat you like this,
how you treat yourself.
But if you value yourself,
if you take your inner life seriously,
if you listen to yourself
and doesn’t let anyone do anything to you,
then others will learn to respect you,
to honor and love.
It starts with you.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Learn to think with the great philosophers of the past!

In these tutorials you will learn
- about the ideas of some of the most famous and influential philosophers of the modern age,
- how to read and understand original philosophical texts,
- most importantly, how to become a critical thinker and philosophise on your own.

In ten tutorials (each two hours long), we will follow the development of modern philosophy from the 17th century to the present. We will start with Descartes, look at Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, and end with Wittgenstein and Heidegger. We will cover topics in the philosophy of mind and language, in epistemology, metaphysics and ethics. We will discuss questions such as "Is the mind distinct from matter?", "Can I know anything?", "Can we distinguish between good and evil?", "Does God exist?" etc.

Note:
You can choose whether you prefer ten tutorials (each two hours long) or twenty tutorials (each one hour long).

About me:
I am a retired university professor who still enjoys teaching philosophy. I have taught many students (graduate and undergraduate) for several decades at reputable British universities. I obtained my philosophy 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.

Hello! I am a private tutor (in-person and online) in philosophy, history, social sciences, and political science. I have been teaching since 2014 and I support a variety of audiences (secondary, higher education, researchers). My teaching method is active: flipped classroom, Socratic debate, project-based learning, criterion-referenced assessments (rubrics), and rapid feedback. I help students formulate a solid problem, structure a plan, argue rigorously, and cite their sources correctly.

I work with digital tools (Moodle, Teams/Zoom, Zotero, NVivo/ATLAS.ti, SPSS/R) and I provide clear support: learning objectives, timetable, assessment criteria. The sessions alternate between summary contributions, guided exercises and discussion sessions. I value curiosity, intellectual discipline and academic honesty (zero ghostwriting, methodological support only).

Areas of expertise: ethics and political theory, history of ideas, discourse analysis, methodology (qualitative/quantitative). Languages: fluent French and English; German read/spoken, Portuguese read; Latin/Ancient Greek (reading). I am caring but demanding: I set explicit expectations, encourage autonomy, and remain available between sessions for targeted questions. If you are looking for structured mentoring, based on clarity, method, and the joy of learning, I will be happy to support you.

Soy graduada en Filología Clásica y llevo más de 5 años ayudando a estudiantes de ESO, Bachillerato y Universidad a superar con éxito asignaturas como Latín, Griego y Lengua Castellana.
Enseñar es mi vocación: disfruto viendo cómo mis alumnos recuperan la confianza, aprueban exámenes y logran comprender una materia que muchas veces les parecía imposible.

Durante este tiempo he desarrollado un método online dinámico y eficaz, pensado para que aprender sea más fácil y productivo que en una clase presencial. Utilizo herramientas digitales, materiales propios y explicaciones claras que conectan con la forma de pensar del estudiante.

Además, mis clases no se acaban cuando termina la hora: mis alumnos pueden escribirme por WhatsApp para resolver dudas rápidas o pedir ayuda antes de un examen. Sé que estas materias pueden resultar duras, y por eso me adapto al ritmo de cada alumno y repito cuantas veces haga falta. Aquí no hay juicios ni prisas, solo un acompañamiento paciente para que el aprendizaje sea real.

🎓 Mi formación incluye el graduado en Filología Clásica, el Máster en Profesorado, el Máster en Filología y Tradición Clásica y cursos de especialización en didáctica y pedagogía online.
He trabajado tanto de forma particular como en academias, enseñando lenguas clásicas y alemán durante varios años.

✨ Si quieres aprobar, mejorar la nota y, sobre todo, comprender la materia con tranquilidad y sin ansiedad, estaré encantada de acompañaros.

I offer sustainable and individually tailored tutoring in philosophy, ethics, animal studies, religion, religious studies, and especially Buddhism. Thanks to my many years of experience teaching students of all ages and learning levels, as well as a wide range of personalities, I know how to convey learning material in an understandable, motivating, and structured way.
As a doctoral student with a solid background in philosophy, interdisciplinary practical studies, and religious and Buddhist studies, I quickly recognize where support in understanding is needed and respond specifically and sensitively to the needs of each student.
Whether it's tutoring, exam preparation, proofreading, or life-oriented enrichment for adults—my teaching not only promotes knowledge, but also the joy of learning and sustainable philosophical and religious studies skills.
