2024 Theme: Political Philosophy

The theme of this year’s institute is Political Philosophy. The institute is non-partisanand seeks to explore how thinking clearly about Political Theory can help mend our fractured polity and civic discourse.

It is not necessary that students have any previous experience with the subject of philosophy — the institute is intended to introduce students to the discipline and practice of philosophy. Students who do have previous experience with philosophy are welcome as well! The institute will serve them by expanding upon their familiarity with the field of philosophy and further developing their critical thinking and communication skills.
