We have completed our 2024 catalog and preliminary schedule for all seminars and courses! While these are, of course, always subject to change (life being ever-unpredictable), I am happy to announce this very exciting slate of philosophy seminars for the upcoming year:

Seven of the eleven seminars on our schedule are new, never before offered.

All-in-all, I find myself a bit giddy at the line-up for the year. You will find descriptions for each seminar in this PDF.
