A Powerful Shared Collaborative Inquiry Discussion Method
Our seminars aren’t typical. We follow a special set of principles and considerations to create the most conducive environment for an enjoyable, productive discussion —not a debate— in which we reason together about the material so each person can come to his or her own conclusion.
Each session is completely independent of the others (although you can make some great connections between them), so if you can’t make it every time, that’s fine! These are designed for you to be able to participate in one or all of the sessions at your convenience.
Lots of Opportunities to Delve into Diverse Content
We’re reading independent selections of 10 pages or less and diving into foundational questions to come to a better understanding of the text as a group.
Some past selections have included:
- Damasio, DeCartes’ Error, A Modern Phineas Gage
- Voltaire, The Only Case In Which Intolerance Is Humanely Lawful
- Cskiszentmihalyi, On The Conditions Of Flow
- Rand, The Objectivist Ethics
- Kipling, If
- Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, The Problem of Socrates
- and more
This is a free program offered via the online conference platform, Zoom. We are currently offering sessions on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday evenings. Register today to receive more information.
