Summer Philosophy Institute

The SoCal Philosophy Academy will host its annual Summer Philosophy Institute for local high school students interested in philosophy and philosophical discussions. Students will meet from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 23-27 at California Lutheran University’s Thousand Oaks campus.

All are welcome, regardless of experience with the subject. The institute will help students expand upon their familiarity with philosophy and develop their critical thinking and communication skills.

The theme of this year’s institute is “Misinformation & Sophistry.” The institute is nonpartisan and seeks to explore how thinking clearly about media, information and argumentation can help mend our fractured polity and civic discourse.

The cost is $40 and includes this year’s text and lunch each day. Applications and more information are available online. The application deadline is June 8.
