Seminar: “Life Design”

April 23, 2019

Gogol Hub, Dnipro

This seminar was intended for adults who want to understand philosophy and apply this knowledge for the design of their own lives. I talked about how philosophy can help a person understand himself or herself and organize his or her life according to what is the most important to this particular person. A philosophical consideration of issues arose for people who wanted to live consciously and manage their own lives. In the ideas of Plato, Kant, Marcuse, and other philosophers, we searched for answers to the challenges that life poses to us. These were an inspirational two hours. All the participants were active in the discussion, and at the end of the seminar, almost everyone came up to me to say that this event was important for him or her and that philosophy had helped them develop answers to important questions of everyday life.
