A Philosophical Happy Hour on why we should care about angelic beings and seek understanding of their existence. Nearly every culture in human history has voiced belief in supernatural beings—forces beyond our reckoning that possess powers to shape and change the world. Indeed, any honest inquiry into the world, the cosmos, shows us wonders beyond […]

A Philosophical Happy Hour on the distinction of potentiality and possibility in both being and knowing.

Beyond the University exists because the modern university, even where it succeeds, has become inadequate to the true tasks of education. Education is not the transmission of information or preparation for employment, but the formation of good intellectual habits. These aims no longer fit comfortably within institutions ordered primarily toward efficiency, expansion, and measurable outcomes. The Lyceum Institute was founded to provide a genuinely different institutional form—one ordered toward education as an integral part of life rather than as a credentialing process.
The Lyceum cultivates enduring intellectual habits of inquiry, order, and memory through rigorous seminars, focused studies of the Trivium, classical languages, guided reading, and sustained inquisitive conversation. By supporting the Lyceum Institute, you help sustain an independent public institution devoted to education ordered toward truth, continuity, and long-term intellectual formation. Your gift ensures that this alternative remains available—not only for today’s students, but for generations to come.
