What can Bigfoot teach us about seeking the truth? How do theories of extraterrestrial life help us understand our place in the universe? Can near-death experiences help us better understand human consciousness?

We live in a weird and wonderful world full of strange phenomena, unexplained events, and unanswered questions.

For thousands of years, philosophers have sought out the answers to the great mysteries of the human experience, exploring consciousness, morality, free will, and even existence itself. The philosophical search for truth and meaning is an immense undertaking that has been underway for millennia. On a smaller scale, paranormal investigators, cryptid hunters, and alien enthusiasts have been searching for answers to rather different questions, exploring everything from the existence of Bigfoot to demon possession. But are they really so different?

Whether you’re looking for proof of alien life or seeking the meaning of life here on Earth, you’ll find that the domain of philosophy and the realm of the weird converge in surprising ways via the six lectures of From Aliens to Bigfoot: A Philosopher’s Guide to the Strange. Guided by Dr. Frank Cabrera and Dr. Megan Fritts, you’ll dive into some of the most bizarre—and most philosophically fascinating—wonders of the world.

Whether you’re a skeptic, a true believer, or somewhere in between, you’ll find that the questions explored in this course seek truth in astonishing places.
