Do you want to be challenged to think for yourself? Can you connect the abstract ideas propounded in your classrooms with life decisions and world events? Can you confidently argue for - and act on - your point of view? Do you want to gain powerful knowledge and skills that will equip you for college\, for success\, for life? Do you want to connect with passionate and principled students from around the country to discuss life’s most challenging questions...while enjoying music\, dancing\, architecture\, and art to the fullest? If your answer is "yes\," then join us this coming July for a unique "total immersion" learning experience in one exciting and challenging week of intensive classes\, interactive sessions\, off-campus expeditions\, and rewarding camaraderie. It just might change your life\, as it has for previous students.   Through this seminar\, you will: Discover why philosophy is crucial to your survival and flourishing\, and find the important meaning and implications for yourself in seemingly simple issues. Learn how to ask questions that will change what you get from - and how you perform in - your classes. Hone your "baloney detector." Become an "ideological detective" by training your mind to find the assumptions behind any set of ideas and judge their objective truth. Develop the ability to present facts\, ideas\, and arguments to others with clarity and confidence. Confront riveting questions about such issues as the source of authentic happiness\, how to withstand social pressure\, and what is the relation of reason and emotion. Learn about art's power to change the culture. Explore the application of the concept of objectivity to sculpture and painting\, and decide whether something can be judged a work of art - or not.     Seminar Details   The basics: The "Great Connections" seminar will begin at 3:00 PM on Saturday\, July 20 and end at midnight on Saturday July 27.
