Course description
Practising wisdom is an exploration of one's own thinking and getting to know the perspectives of others. Wisdom involves the ability to justify opinions, reflect logically, think critically, present things rhetorically well, and the ability to solve problem situations. The course will provide a variety of exercises to practice dialogicity, asking questions, thinking skills, solving brain teasers, and problem tasks. This course will shake up thinking. The course is suitable for anyone who wants to prevent boredom and narrowing of thinking. It is also known that practicing thinking skills prevents dementia. The course exercises serve everyone interested in developing themselves, their own expression, and thinking skills. The course content is designed so that it acts as a follow-up course for those who have previously participated. First-time students are also welcome. You may leave this course wiser than when you arrived! The course instructor is Pia Houni, a lecturer in philosophy and a PhD student.
