Description Greek History Diploma  Greek History Diploma course is on offer from Elearncollege. The Greek History Diploma course is a journey through the history of the progress of the great Greek civilisation in the fields of politics, intellect, and creativity. The course starts with a deep dive into the Bronze age and ends with the classical period. The course outlines everything we know as ancient Greece today, including the various places and the lives of the Greeks as their history developed. The Greek History Diploma course surveys the necessary and significant changes of the Greek civilisation, including the foundational events that may be imagined or real, the great wars they fought, and their most essential cultural traditions and social institutions. The course explores the ancient Greek's perceptions of the world surrounding them and their place in it. It attempts to heed the calls of their slaves and the women, often unheard of in many accounts of their history. There are many blind spots and previously unexplored insights into the civilisation of the Greeks, which you will learn in this course; mysteries to solve and drama to uncover that will ultimately lead to a better understanding of yourself. The ancient Greek civilisation began between the 12th and 9th BC, known as the Greek Dark Ages. This period ended with the end of antiquity circa 600AD. What followed was the Early Middle Ages and the era known as the Byzantine period. About three centuries after the collapse of the Late Bronze Age and Mycenaean Greece, the formation of the Greek urban poleis began during the 8th century BC. This marked the Archaic period's start and the Mediterranean Basin colonisation. The period preceded the Classical Greece era, beginning with the Greco-Persian war and extending to the 4th century and 5th century BC. Hellenistic civilisation spread from the western Mediterranean to Central Asia with the conquests of Alexander the Great, the ruler of Macedonia. The Hellenistic era met its end as the Roman Republic took over the eastern Mediterranean, and the Roman Province of Macedonia was annexed from Roman Greece. Later, the Archaea province was also annexed from the Roman Empire. The culture of classical Greece had a lot of influence on Rome, especially in philosophy. Versions of it spread throughout the majority of Europe and the Mediterranean. Because of this, Classical Greece is often thought of as the cradle of Western Civilisation, the pivotal culture that set off the culture of the modern Western world, as its ideologies spread and became the founding archetypes in the fields of philosophy, politics, art, and science. The ancient Greek civilisation dominated most parts of the Mediterranean for thousands of years. Its powerful influence declined around 146 BC, but they were much more advanced in different fields of thought and inquiry, making them influential. The Greeks civilisation remains one of the first contributors to the development and advancement of our species in all areas of religion, politics, science, arts, and our perception and comprehension of our world and the universe. So few cultures have the same legacy as the ancient Greeks, continuing to have powerful concepts like philosophy, democracy, architectural orders, scientific theories, dramatic structure, and even the Olympic Games. Very few other cultures have had the same impact on our morals, values, and sense of being as deep as ancient Greek civilisation. Elearncollege's Greek History Diploma course goes through these three eras- Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic- chronologically consisting of the Greek civilisation to analyse the times when they existed and their contributions that still impact our world today.

Description Metaphysics Diploma  Metaphysics is the philosophical discipline that explores the fundamental principles of change and identity, being, causality, time and space, possibility, and necessity. It constitutes questions such as 'what is consciousness made up of?' and 'how are matter and mind related?'. 'metaphysics' combines two Ancient Greek terms that translate to 'after or among or behind the natural'. Areas of metaphysical inquiry include existence, things and their characteristics, time and space, possibility, and chain of events. Metaphysics is among the four philosophical branches apart from ethics, logic, and epistemology. The Metaphysics Diploma course allows one to learn about the philosophical connection among abstract elements such as time, space, being, and identity. The Metaphysics Diploma course starts with introducing the field of metaphysics to the learners. Before delving into further details about the discipline, the Metaphysics Diploma course explains its relation to physics. Metaphysics deals with the exploration of the characteristics of reality. The learners will form a deeper understanding of metaphysics through topics that deal with 'the framework of reality.' Thereby, the learners will get familiar with some central questions dealt with in metaphysics about existence, time and space, and identity. There is a lot to learn about cosmology in the Metaphysics Diploma course, from religions to astronomy to philosophy and a lot about the human mind, philosophy, and theories that aim to explain how the mind works with the body and the larger universe. The Metaphysics Diploma course also discusses free will, putting forth essential questions such as: 'Does free will exist?', 'Is the life of an individual pre-determined?', 'Does free choice exist?'. One can discover what answers different theories have put forth such intriguing questions. The learners will explore the connection between science and metaphysics, with questions involving their compatibility for interdisciplinary discourse. The Diploma course also examines the validity of metaphysics and the views of philosophers who support and oppose it. Besides exploring metaphysical questions, the course also examines the history of the philosophical discipline. The learners will explore the concepts of Western philosophy, including Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, and the philosophical schools of modern times, including analytical philosophy and rationalism. The Metaphysics Diploma course also explores Eastern philosophy, such as classical Chinese, Indian, Buddhist, and African schools of thought.

Description Astrobiology Diploma  Astrobiology is among the freshest and most versatile scientific fields, and this Astrobiology Diploma course is a golden opportunity to develop fundamental knowledge about the current developments in the discipline. With investigations ranging from biological studies from a molecular level to the quest for finding extra-terrestrial life, the influence of astrobiology spans a wide array of academic fields. This Astrobiology Diploma course explores the field of astrobiology and how its methods and tools are utilized to find if life exists beyond Planet Earth. The discipline is also young and quickly expanding, focusing on essential topics such as life on Mars and exoplanets. Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary science that studies life's distribution, origin, future, and evolution across the Universe. Aspects that fall under Astrobiological studies include the emergence of stars and planets, how habitable conditions develop on planets, how life originates, how life evolves, the limits of life in extreme conditions, and the possibility of life's existence on various planets. The Astrobiology Diploma course offers a foundation for a broad understanding of Astrobiology and its related disciplines. The idea of life's existence beyond Planet Earth has always fascinated scientists and commoners alike. The ancient Greek astrologers argued that the Planet Earth is the only celestial body with energy. However, they lacked the technological prowess to support their ideas. Humanity has come a long way since ancient civilizations, with drastic scientific advancements in recent centuries. Towards the end of the 20th century, numerous scientific expeditions discovered the potential existence of bacteria in a meteorite on Planet Mars. Following this discovery, the focus on finding life beyond Earth gained more prominence. The possible threat to humanity's existence on Earth has also fuelled the search for a second home in the recent past. The newly formed discipline of astrobiology hopes to find an answer to this baffling question of 'Are we alone in this Universe?' with the help of required scientific and technological capability. Astrobiology studies many areas as the quest to find life beyond Planet Earth requires a deep perception of life and the conditions that allow it to exist. The study also looks at stellar processes, interactions, and planetary systems. Astrobiologists use tools and expertise from various domains to investigate these questions. This multidisciplinary scientific subject studies life's adaptation to severe conditions in space and on Earth. With the Astrobiology Diploma course, one can boost their career and improve their employability by uncovering their talents, interests, and skills. This course is meant to help students advance their careers in Astrobiology.

Hysteria’s history, rooted in Greek myth, evolved into a Victorian belief of a “wandering uterus” leading to disturbing medical practices. We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy. This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Hysteria- between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Bárbara Godoy “In this talk, I will compare the Histerical patient to the ancient Greek myth of Persephone, the goddess who traversed the boundaries between the world of the living and the underworld. Just as Persephone’s cyclical descent and return mirrored the changing seasons, hysteria was seen as a condition where emotions and experiences defied easy classification. This notion of transgressing boundaries became a cornerstone of early psychoanalysis. In Victorian times, hysteria took a decidedly bizarre turn. Here, the culprit was believed to be a mobile womb, an organ capable of throwing into disorder and confusion. This “wandering womb” was blamed for a variety of ailments and behaviours, particularly any expression of female desire out-of-wedlock. In a truly disturbing reflection of these beliefs, legal rulings based on this theory emerged. In some cases, women diagnosed with hysteria could be forced to undergo a hysterectomy.” Bárbara Godoy. Bárbara Godoy M.A., Adv. Dip. Exi. Psy, UKCP accredited Psychotherapist and Supervisor, MBACP and SEA – Director of Therapy Harley Street. Bárbara’s academic experience in London since 2008 includes lecturing and researching on the theory and practice of Phenomenological Existential Therapy on Doctorate, MA and professional courses at the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology, Regent’s University and the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling directed by Emmy van Deurzen. Bárbara has facilitated therapeutic Group Work internationally since 1997. The question about the meaning of Being-Woman was the topic of her thesis completed in 2005 and evolved into two main Women’s Groups: “Nine muses” and “Four Seasons” which she leads in addition to her individual private practice. Currently, as the clinical director of THS, Bárbara leads a team of over 20 professional practitioners in the area of Psychological services and Wellbeing consultancy. Bárbara is also the founder-director of THS’s Personal Development and CPD Programmes. Prof. Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy, supervision, psychology, and executive coaching. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as an APECS accredited executive coach and coaching supervisor. In 2000, he was the Recipient of BPS Division of Counselling Psychology Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Profession. And in 2019, Ernesto received the BPS Award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice. His most recent book, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World 2nd edition (Sage, 2015) has been widely praised as a major contribution to the advancement of existential theory and practice. Living up to the existential dictum that life is absurd, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels.

Wellness is not a new concept. The ancient Greeks believed that a truly healthy person possessed a keen intellect, a well-developed will and a disciplined body. Their ideal of arete, meaning excellence of any kind, was considered a noble state of human functioning, representing the merging of body, mind and spirit. Today there is a strong emphasis on wellness and this course focuses on making you aware of and making choices towards a more successful life.
