Stone Age, Modern Minds: Anime and Philosophy from Dr. Stone – Walker’s All For Girls Summer Academy Recently Updated

In this summer class, we get the privilege to stand at the intersection of fun and learning as we identify the connections between anime and philosophy. We will discuss the methods that Dr. Stone and his friends use to rebuild human civilization, comparing and contrasting them to the model of the ideal city posited by Plato in the Republic. We will also assess the strengths and weaknesses of this model, considering its rationale, its morals, ethics, and its feasibility.
