The Wisdom of the Ancients

The Canisius Adult Lifelong Learners Institute announces its new course for the 2024 spring semester: Boundaries of Wisdom: Reading Ancient Texts.

Every Tuesday at 12:00 p.m., from January 30 – March 5, Johanna Fisher, of the English Department, will lead discussions about what several ancient texts teach us about negotiating the challenges of life. This six-week course shall discover that in our common and shared humanity, the boundaries in which our ancestors and us met/meet life’s challenges become blurred. We are after all not so different. Instead, we can find wisdom in their approaches to war, hatred, injustice and even climate change!

Enrollment is open to everyone! No papers or exams, but much good discussion! Courses are not part of any Canisius University degree program. Visit our website for more information or click here to register.  and registration link: tinyurl.com/ycycr89y
