Ongoing Courses

After completing the Introductory and Foundation courses, you are invited to continue your adventure in practical philosophy. Further courses are offered, which serve to expand and deepen students’ appreciation of the search for wisdom. 

Practical philosophy is not so much a subject of study as it is a way of life, and these courses provide the opportunity for ongoing exploration. There are many students around the world who have been attending the School’s courses for several decades!

Eligibility criteria may apply to ongoing courses and students transferring from other locations or returning from a break in attendance are invited to contact us before enrolling.

Knowledge and Freedom

What is the difference between knowledge and information? How is information transformed into knowledge? How can knowledge enable freedom? We will consider knowledge that enables us to live wisely.

Prerequisite: completion of the Emotional Freedom course.

Antahkarana

The subject of this term’s study will be the huge field of the human inner being. In Advaita philosophy this is called the Antahkarana. The word ‘antah’ means inner or within, and the word ‘karana’ means instrument. So it is the inner instrument. Sometimes this is called the subtle body, to distinguish it from the physical body. People often strive to have a healthy, beautiful or handsome physical body. But what about the inner body? Is it important that the heart is beautiful?

Prerequisite: completion of M5 Introduction to Plato, the Apology.

Measure

This term our theme for consideration will be measure. This we can take as the art of living creatively and happily. Everything in the world has a measure. When we know and understand what the measures are, they can be used in ways which are creative and which result in happiness.

Prerequisite: completion of the M2 The Tenfold Dharma course
