LIMITED SEATS | SIGN UP AT JAAGA.IN/U-STUDY  

There is a revolution in online learning. Top tier institutions across the world are publishing high quality, free, assessed learning materials and classes on the internet. At JaagaU, we provide motivation, guidance and a creative social environment to help people successfully complete such classes. We bring in local experts who shed light on the local contexts and uses of your learning. We are keen to understand what the learning in the age of the internet looks like so that we can develop a replicable model for a new-age 'university'.

Are you an artist, a geek, a philosopher? Perhaps you are none of these, or partly some of these or infact all of these. Join us as Jaaga-U now offers 3 tracks that enables you to get more deeply into these areas using high quality online learning material in study groups facilitated by our fantastic local experts.

> Philosophy: A Romp Through Ethics | 3 Nov to 15 Dec | Rs. 1500

Dr. Alan Van Wyk, Amy Watson, Athena Kashyap & Dr. Rajesh Kasturirangan

Our lives are filled with ethical dilemmas: Should I tell a lie to a friend to make them happy? Is it OK to accept a bribe? Am I responsible for my neighbor’s safety? In this, JaagaU Philosophical Investigations course, we will explore these questions and many more as we learn to think seriously and philosophically about our ethical lives. Guided by Oxford University’s “A Romp Through Ethics for Complete Beginners” we will consider the foundations of ethical thought, investigating what it means for an action to be right or wrong, whether we can have moral knowledge, if ethics requires freedom, and the ethical relation between the individual and society. Together we will begin to think about what is Good and how we can bring the Good into our world.
