How To Be Cool
Who should go to an event called How to Be Cool? Those who are cool or those who are not? Perhaps the answer is those who are astute enough to sense there is more to this mysterious virtue than simply knowing the in-places to eat, labels to wear, albums to listen to, and websites to read and watch. According to Aristotle the correct pursuit of life is happiness. We can only be happy when we exercise each of the virtues in moderation. Thus, we must not lack courage, for this would make us cowards, nor have too much courage, which would make us foolhardy. One might summarise this approach as one of taking an appropriate response to every situation, an idea central to the notion of being cool. In this class, we reveal what it is about the attitude, behaviour and appearance of properly cool people that inspires such admiration. And why coolness, far from being an opaque and unattainable quality, is a valuable approach to everyday life we can all cultivate.
