Critical Thinking Videos
Brain Pickings is my one-woman labor of love — a subjective lens on what matters in the world and why. Mostly, it’s a record of my own becoming as a person — intellectually, creatively, spiritually — and an inquiry into how to live and what it means to lead a good life.

EPCC Philosophy
Philosophy is the discipline concerned with questions of how one should live (ethics); what sorts of things exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics); what counts as genuine knowledge (epistemology); and the reasons why humans create & consider things beautiful (aesthetics). The word is of Greek origin: φιλοσοφία (philosophía), meaning love of wisdom.
