Philosophy for All

Should you put on Plato's Ring of Gyges? What makes a decision a good one? And what can slaying dragons teach us about living well? Join philosopher, educator, author and veteran Dungeon Master Peter Worley for an accessible introduction to the surprising philosophical depth of Dungeons & Dragons. Using examples from the game alongside ideas from the Stoics, Simone de Beauvoir and Nietzsche, Peter Worley will show how role-playing can become a powerful way of thinking about the decisions we make both in fantasy worlds and in our own lives. No previous experience of D&D required.

Peter Worley is a philosopher-educator, specialising in questioning, dialogue, and philosophical inquiry. He is the author or editor of eleven books on doing philosophy, including The If Machine, The If Odyssey and Corrupting Youth. He is creator of PhiE pedagogy of philosophical enquiry, and the Founder of The Philosophy Foundation, through which he helped bring philosophy into schools, communities, and workplaces internationally.
