Prager University is an online resource promoting knowledge and clarity.

We are not an accredited academic institution. And we don't want to be.

All our courses are free.

There are no fees, no tuition, books, homework assignments, or grueling midterms here - just clear, life-changing insights and ideas from world-renowned thinkers on subjects as diverse as political science, economics, history, philosophy, and psychology. There are also no long, boring, can't-keep-my-eyes-open lectures. All our courses are five minutes long. That's right, five minutes.

Our faculty gets right to the point. That point is supported by cutting edge, visually-compelling, entertaining images and animation. Just as a shot of espresso boosts your energy, a shot of Prager University boosts your brain. Because not only will you have more knowledge, you will have more clarity. You'll get one other thing, a true-value added component of a Prager University education – wisdom.

If you're ready to grow intellectually, we're ready for you.

Click on a course and let's get started!

The Lord God gave us a free will; He didn’t want ‘robots’ that He forced to worship and obey Him, but a creation that would choose to love Him back for His love toward them.

We sure do have free will. Most days I don’t deserve mine and I often wonder if He shouldn’t have made me a flower instead.

America has the FREE WILL to elect people THAT....
Can TAX things you OWN.!... over and over and over again...

WHICH means you don’t actually OWN IT.. you’re RENTING IT from that givernment..
And THEY don’t care if even the truth of that penetrates their gitalong..

THEY PAY the TAX.. as if.... they were Slot Machines..
With NEVER the desire to REVOLT.. against this system..

NEXT WEEK... we’ll talk about the Federal Reserve System...
YOU’LL NOT BELIEVE the hubris of that Boonswoggle..
Intelligent people falling for THAT!...

Most likely HOUSE WIVES used to spending other peoples money.. i.e. husbands..
Installed after the amendment that gave women the VOTE.

Let's go back to the example of "Where do I want to eat lunch?" Maybe one café has green décor, and green is a favorite color of mine, so I am inclined to chose it over others. Often, if not usually, our choices are governed by no more than such whims. But why do I like or dislike a color? My preferences seem fed to me by my subconscious, a part of my mind that by definition I cannot know or have dialogue with. How can one say I have complete free will in every case if many of the paths I choose are the result of subconscious influence?

"Psychology, the study of the mind, is not reducible to physics, and biology, and chemistry. Yet, there are many materialists -- people who believe that physical matter is all that exists, that the only reality -- including every thought, every feeling, every mind, every will, all of this is totally explained in terms of matter in motion, simply physical phenomena. These materialists believe that we're no more than robots and that free will is an illusion, a myth."

It baffles me why people say this. I suppose it is our strong Cartesian prejudice that there must always be a dichotomy between the physical and spiritual. The soul may be spiritual, that's not the present question, but every thought and every dream that goes through my mind, and all that I perceive, is the result of chemical and electrical physical processes that occur within my brain. Just because thoughts do not persist as stones do, they are not less a physical thing than any cloud we see in the sky.

You wouldn't be caused to think about any of these things. You would choose to think about these things, and you could stop anytime you wanted to.

Man's primary choice is whether to exert the energy to rise above his perceptual consciousness and use his faculty of reason or not.Most libtards are unable or refuse to do this. They are left with a non-volitional, concrete bound mentality accompanied by emotionalism, like a deterministic automaton.
