33 moments of practical philosophy and applied psychology

Serious Topics

Based on selected chapters from 33 Moments of Practical Philosophy and Applied Psychology. An Anthology of Thought on Human Existence, this seminar explores self-understanding through the complementary perspectives of philosophy and psychology. It offers a practical and reflective approach to the major issues of human life and behaviour. The seminar comprises 17 weekly sessions, each devoted to two topics followed by a guided discussion. The final session provides a synthesis of the learning. Topics covered include arrogance, choice, communication, competence, error, freedom, happiness, the human condition, humility, humour, love, the meaning of life, perception, responsibility, time, truth and well-being. Participants connect philosophical reflection to their daily lives, analyse individual and social behaviours, and apply what they have learned to communication, decision-making, responsibility, well-being and personal development. The seminar is led by Prof. Dr Marc Ant, a psychologist, Doctor of Philosophy and professor of organisational behaviour. He has taught in Luxembourg, Germany and South Korea, headed the competence centres of Luxembourg’s craft sector, and published 23 books as well as more than 120 scientific articles. Please note that no classes take place during Luxembourg school holidays or on public holidays.
