The Dialectic: Philosophy Summer Camp

The Dialectic: Philosophy Summer Camp is an intellectual community formed of high school students, philosophy PhD students, and professors. This year we will explore questions about the nature of the self, such as:

• What does the self consist of? Who, or what are you? 
• Are you separate from others? Are you unique?
• Do you make your own decisions? 
• What does it mean to be a self among other selves? 
• What benefits or harms come from focusing on the self? 
• Are people inherently good or bad? 
• Can the self survive change? Death?

The program is a day camp (no overnight option), and the students will spend the week investigating these issues, making friends, and exploring ASU's campus and dining halls.  More information can be found on our website: https://shprs.asu.edu/PHIsummercamp
