The Life of the Mind: Schedule and Descriptions

The Life of the Mind series is our offering for the 2022-2023 Academic Year. All lectures are public and don't require an application. Seminar participants are required to apply.

This project is about asking the "big questions" of existence. Why is the natural world so beautiful? Why does it have an intelligible order? Why is there a world at all? We're dealing with the unavoidable questions at the foundation of all thought. We're fostering intellectual friendship, freedom, and respect. We're pursuing truth in community.

The Life of the Mind is comprised of a public lecture delivered by a prominent academic followed by three monthly seminars. Each semester has its own theme: "The Transcendentals" in the Fall, and "Ways of Thinking" in the Winter. Click the red button to read the full description of the seminar and lectures.
