The workshops include of a prior presentation of the topic by myself on YouTube. The meeting itself consists of a brief review of the topic followed by questions and discussion. The weekly topic is posted a week before the event, together with a suggested reading from my work The Pursuit of Value, available through Amazon Books or myself. Transcripts of the Youtube presentation are available by email.

THIS WEEK: The idea of The Enlightenment as knowledge and reason has eclipsed its history as religious enlightenment. Yet with Descartes, and later with psychology and phenomenology, a reiteration of enlightenment had also begun to appear in the development of consciousness and reflective consciousness in the form of an increasing awareness of our own existence. Does this development of consciousness and self-consciousness augur intractable new problems, or an opportunity for mankind to come to a new understanding of himself? Reading: The Pursuit of Value, Ch. 1, Scn. ii.
