Philosophy Summer Programs for *Adults*
Not all summer philosophy programs restrict admissions to those academically affiliated: High School, Undergraduate, or Graduate students.
Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, and Cambridge, to name a few, recognize lifelong learning.
Let’s make a compilation of some such offerings and elevate it at some point soon to a new DailyNous post, for SEO and broader engagement with public philosophy.
