A week-long philosophy summer day camp for rising junior and senior high school students and incoming college freshmen with Ellie Peters.
About this Event

Politics have become an area of confusion, conflict, and Political Philosophy deadlock. This summer, we will get past the muddle and initiate reasoned, productive, real political conversation by returning to first principles. What is the purpose of the state? What does it mean to have a just society? Guided by our study of Plato, Aristotle, and excerpts from various political philosophers, we will explore the moral and philosophical foundations of human political communities.
