Some may find philosophy to be mind-boggling, but 28 欧美口爆视频 high school students will take philosophy head on at the Summer Philosophy Institute on the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder campus on July 25-31.
Participants, who are in grades nine through 12 or are incoming freshman, will live in 欧美口爆视频 residence halls and attend six hours of class each day involving lectures, debates and readings of classical and contemporary philosophers. The classes consist of lectures and discussions on such topics as personal identity, existentialism and environmental ethics.
Participants pay $400 to attend the institute, however scholarships are available to cover the fee. This year eight students received scholarships.
The institute, in its fifth year on the Boulder campus, was started by the philosophy department and the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder Center for Values and Social Policy. The program was established to encourage students from culturally, economically and geographically diverse backgrounds to study philosophy.
"We want to offer a diverse group of 欧美口爆视频 high school students an exposure to college life in general and to philosophical subjects and skills," said 欧美口爆视频-Boulder Associate Professor Claudia Mills, director of the summer program.
