Overview
This project seeks to enhance the approach of Esa Saarinen’s life-philosophical lectures through digital platforms. The first pilot will take place in the fall of 2017 in connection of the course “Magnificent Life”, which will involve Prof. Saarinen’s lectures (in English), along the lines of the hugely popular course “Filosofia ja systeemiajattelu” (in Finnish) for which the pilot will also contribute and give the first test case.
The overall aim of Prof. Saarinen’s teaching, which is typically non-instructional and highly suggestive and personal, is to provide a setting for the participant’s subjective reflection and deliberation. The new digital aspects of the course Magnificent Life seek to help the participant in her strive to live a better life thought a better use of her thinking, understood here as a holistic, experiential mental faculty only part of which is conscious, rational and verbal.
