Textual Depths,
Conversational Heights
While we love our courses and seminars, they can be rather intense commitments, with many lengthy readings, lectures, assignments, and live discussions. Sometimes, we lack the ability for such an undertaking—but want to keep alive the life of the mind!
A reading circle provides a less intensive (but still serious) approach to intellectual development: a focused reading of a specific text (or closely-related set of texts) in the tradition, led by an instructor with expertise in the thinker, in regularly-scheduled live discussion sessions. These vary in structure between the more programmatic (i.e., proceeding through a definite series, as chapters of a book, or lectures, or the like) and the more wide-ranging (taking varied selections across different topics and of perhaps indefinite length).
Reading groups are open to all full-time Enrolled members. Public participants may also register for a nominal fee.
