GREECE

SICILY - ROME

PARIS

In Athens, stroll along the Agora, where Socrates walked and talked with the Athenians or, in a “taverna”, discuss the ideas of Plato and Aristotle along with wine. While admiring the Acropolis, learn about the ancient religious cults practiced there, and enjoy this unique opportunity to understand the philosophical importance of the Greek and Roman sites we visit.

Hear about Voltaire, Rousseau, and the Enlightenment, as you dine at their Café Procope, and discuss existentialism where Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre used to philosophize at Café de Flore. In a seventeenth century French garden, you can meet France’s most famous philosopher, René Descartes. As you enjoy the Vie Parisienne, you’ll understand why Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson couldn’t get enough of Paris, the paradise for the sightseers and gastronomes.

Whether traveling for pleasure or taking students for credit, our 2005 Philosophy Trips are designed with you in mind. Visit the places where some of the most famous western philosophers lived and wrote, and where the world we live in today was born.

Our new exciting program offer tours that combine philosophical ideas with the joy of living.

All tours can be customized to answer the requirements of teachers and professors who wish to provide their students with a meaningful credit course that will broaden the student’s horizon and be an unforgettably pleasant experience. Enjoy quaint hotels, gourmet meals, exciting conversations, plus easy access to shopping and other leisure time activities.
