Stephen R. Grimm, professor of philosophy at Fordham University, has been awarded a 0,000 grant to support a summer program in philosophy for high school students in the Bronx.
The grant funding the program is from the Teagle Foundation‘s “Knowledge for Freedom” initiative.
What we’re going to do in this seminar is look at what different philosophers, different traditions, different cultures have said about the good life… And what’s their vision of the good? So we’re going to look through ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, ancient Chinese philosophy, the Enlightenment, all the way up to 20th-century figures like Martin Luther King, Jr.
