DescriptionPlease note that the ‘last booking’ date is only a guide. Courses may close earlier. In order to avoid disappointment, please be sure to enrol as soon as possible. Registrations may not be processed until the following day if received after 3pm. Humans like to ask questions, something evidenced by the persistence of Philosophy throughout time and cultures. From the Pre-Socratics to the present day, philosophers have asked whether there are divine beings, whether morality exists, whether we really can know anything, and whether life does have meaning (whatever meaning means). In this course, we will explore how both the questions asked and answers given have persisted or changed through time. We will engage with the titans of the Ancient Greek era, to Immanuel Kant’s self-professed ‘revolutions’ in thought, all the way through to the future of Philosophy. Presupposing no prior knowledge of philosophy and instead only requiring an inquisitive mind, let’s examine together whether Philosophers really do make progress, and what that progress might look like.

If a course is cancelled because of low numbers, a full refund will be issued to the same card that was used to pay the fee. Refunds will be identified on bank and credit/debit card statements as being from the University of Liverpool. We may also offer you a transfer to an alternative course if you wish, subject to any difference in fees and the availability of places. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course, an emailed application for a refund must be received by the CE Office a minimum of 14 days before the course start date. No refunds will be issued after this date. All refunds are subject to an administrative charge of 10% of the relevant fee. This does not affect your statutory right to cancel this contract at any time within the 14 days immediately following your registration on a course, without giving any reason. In such a circumstance, you will be entitled to a refund of any course fee you have paid to the University prior to your decision to cancel. All notices of cancellation must be made in writing by email to conted@liverpool.ac.uk or openlang@liverpool.ac.uk Course Transfers Your enrolment is for a specific course. Very occasionally students find they need to transfer to a different course. This happens most frequently in languages when the chosen study level is not the most appropriate for a student’s prior knowledge. Transfers can only be made for good reason, at the discretion of the department and subject to availability of course places. All course transfers must take place within 2 weeks of classes starting, in line with University regulations. | |||||||||||||||
