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).

Asking questions is central to the practice of philosophy. Gain a fresh perspective on questions of self, vocation, and community while enjoying simple living on the prairie of southwestern Minnesota. Students and instructors form a community for living and learning to investigate their own and others responses to questions such as these: What is an authentic self? Who am I? What is vocation? What is my work in the world? What kind of community do I want to have around me? What do I bring to my relationships and community? What makes communities resilient, able to flourish through change and conflict? Students and instructors also meet local residents to learn how they are living the answers to life's important questions and creating lives worth living.
