On Heraclitus

On Heraclitus is an eleven (11) week course designed for students to gain a deeper understanding of the life and work of the pre-Socratic father of Stoic physics, Heraclitus. And, Fate permitting, have FUN doing so through readings, videos, discussions, self-tests and more!

Your Mentor

Your mentor will help you achieve the goal of becoming knowledgeable about the philosophy of Heraclitus, both in theory and practice. He or she will do this by guiding, correcting, encouraging, and affirming your progress. Specific goals that you may have will also be carefully considered. You will have Zoom meetings with your mentor at the beginning and end of your studies, and have opportunities to communicate through Moodle or email at any time.

Assignments

Assignments include self-paced quizzes, short reflective writings, and similar activities, which are generally due at the end of each two week unit. Thought and contemplation are part of the learning process. Your mentor can work with you if deadlines are difficult to meet.
