Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)

 

About our courses

What is the nature of reality? What is knowledge? Do we have minds? What does it mean to to be a person? How should human beings be treated? When, if ever, is it permissible deliberately to harm other people? What is it to act freely, and do we ever have true freedom? If you enjoy thinking about these sorts of questions, then a part-time Philosophy course at ICE could be for you.
