Philosophy Camp 2010: May 24 - June 18

Philosophy Camp is the affectionate nickname given by students to the philosophy course
Phil 4326—Lives Worth Living: Questions of Self, Vocation, and Community (6 credits).

Explore questions of self, vocation, and community while living at a retreat center on the prairie of southwestern Minnesota. As students and instructors create our own community of learners and engage with innovators in the local area around Windom, MN, we investigate questions such as these: What is an authentic self? What is vocation? What kind of community do I want to have around me? What makes communities resilient, able to flourish through change?
