What knowledge is of most worth and why? How do we attain it? This seminar draws instructive insights from Plato and Aristotle and invites you to explore what one of Rembrandt’s lesser known masterpieces illuminates about education and the schooling of desire.
Join us for some sustained engagement with art and explore what Rembrandt invites us to consider about what matters most.
