We are all Natural-born philosophers
Learn philosophy online through a series of weekly classes that put people in conversation with great thinkers from the past and present — and, most importantly, with one another. These conversations are friendly, vigorous, and exploratory. They’re also a lot of fun.
David Egan Philosophy makes intellectually rigorous philosophy accessible to the general public. These online classes approach the greatest minds on the biggest questions with a spirit of curiosity and discovery. They curate meaningful experiences with lightness and joy.
My standard ten-week online courses are on hiatus as I start my new job at Koç University. But you can register for my self-guided online course, An Introduction to Philosophy in Ten Dangerous Ideas or join my mailing list. I send out a monthly newsletter and organize occasional online “philosophy happy hour” and “meet a philosopher” events.

An Introduction to Philosophy in Ten Dangerous Ideas
Do you want to study philosophy at your own pace and schedule but with expert guidance to help you along? This self-guided online course gives you access to texts, video lectures, and additional resources, as well as the option of one-on-one meetings with David to discuss the material.
The best philosophers are unafraid to follow a line of reasoning wherever it might lead. Sometimes their reasoning leads them to surprising places. This course offers an introduction to philosophy by way of ten arguments that challenge us with bold, and sometimes unsettling, conclusions. Our survey covers philosophers from the Greek, Chinese, Buddhist, and Islamic traditions, as well as contemporary thinkers.
