This is highly recommended.
Topic: The Three Stages of Life. In this lecture, Professor Sweis will cover Sorien Kierkegaard’s proposed life stages. He argues that the individual passed through three stages on the way to becoming a true self: the aesthetic, the ethical, and the spiritual.
Join us as we discuss how pursuing happiness does not make us happy! Join us as we discuss hedonism, naturalism, and narcissism.
Join us as professor Sweis will give evidence—following Kierkegaard’s logic for why living without the spiritual in your life will lead toward ultimate meaninglessness.
“If you’re looking for dry, academic balderdash then Dr. Khaldoun Sweis is clearly NOT the speaker for you! If, however, you are looking for someone to make philosophy fun, accessible and relevant, he’s your man. He is both erudite, entertaining, confident and congenial speaker who understands that philosophy is at the heart of the matter of every day living. Far from being with the dusty domain of scholars, philosophy never sounded so cool.”
—David DiCerto Director of Film, TV & Mission Outreach Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Center For Thought & Culture, NYC
“ I am pleased to recommend him as a speaker and scholar who communicates with insight, honesty … in the marketplace of ideas.”
-Paul Copan, Professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University and holds the endowed Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics.

“For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.”― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
