What is Philosophy?: Presented by Dr. Eric Wasiolek

What does it mean to think deeply about existence, knowledge, ethics, and reality? In this session, Dr. Eric Wasiolek will lead us through a foundational exploration of philosophy. Rather than just viewing it as an academic discipline, Eric will guide us in examining it as an active, evolving tool for understanding the world and our place within it. Key themes include: * The Core Branches: A brief overview of metaphysics, epistemology, axiology, and logic. * Historical Context: How foundational philosophical questions have shifted over time. * Modern Relevance: Why philosophical framing remains essential for examining complex contemporary issues. Bring your questions and insights for what promises to be a highly engaging presentation, discussion, and Q&A session.
