Why spend $400 or more on a college course, when you could study Philosophy at UC for a tiny fraction of that cost? This course provides a clear presentation & summary of the main figures and concepts in the History of Western Philosophy. Whether you are a person studying for general interest, or a student taking a class on Philosophy, this course was designed for you -- to enrich your understanding of Philosophy, and to help make the learning experience enjoyable for all participants. You will have many opportunities to develop your ideas and your writing skills, too, as you choose, whether you're planning to take Philosophy in college, or develop your ideas as an independent thinker. You will have the opportunity to write papers (optional) on the topics of your choice (you decide the length), and receive custom tutoring from your instructor. This level of individualized instruction --in both philosophy and writing -- is reflected in the price of the course...still, extremely low when compared to private tutors. You may also participate in our optional Discussion Forums, and also avail yourself of On-line Chat. This course presupposes no knowledge of Philosophy, only a willingness to explore ideas. To help make the learning experience enjoyable to all, the basic material is presented in a series of easy-to-understand poems, written by the instructor. Each lesson also has supplemental text, which complements the poem. Each lesson is designed to make the concepts as clear as possible. The course is based on a study guide that was written by the instructor, who has a long-term interest in continuing education, who has advanced degrees in Philosophy, and who taught the subject for 9 years in college.

World Religions 101 provides a clear and concise introduction to the major world religions. You'll learn about the people, places, practices and philosophies shaping today's events. Some religions might be familiar, some strange and some you may never have heard about but why not discover karma, nirvana, yin and yang and the Holy Trinity? Although many of us think of religion as a belief system practiced through faith, obedience, prayer and worship, you'll find that some religions are more than just a belief in a deity, but an entire philosophy and way of life. Explore the religions that have shaped history, civilizations and your next door neighbors views. You will learn about the founders, the history and essential teachings of each of these major religions: Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, and Taoism, plus brief descriptions of other religions and religious practices. Why not join this self-paced course and learn about the diverse spiritual paths humanity has taken? Everyone is welcome!
