SUMMARY:"St. John's College: A Year of Classics"
DESCRIPTION:St. John’s seminars offer nine profound\, rich\, and resonant readings taken from the core of the college’s distinctive curriculum. The 2025–26 gathering of readings asks challenging questions. In the community of a discussion-based classroom\, we study these texts and confront their questions together. We offer a once-a-month experience in the life of the mind\, a true source of reward for the busy executive\, stimulation for the artist\, engagement for a parent\, and all of these for those who are at work building our world on strong foundations. \n2025–26 Theme: Solitude\nSolitude is a paradox. It is a state that can be freely chosen or imposed against one’s will; it can be met with pleasure or through pain. For some\, it is the necessary condition of a reflective life\, while for others it is something to be overcome or resisted. Solitude can take place in genuine isolation or through a loneliness experienced even when surrounded by others. When should we seek solitude and when should we seek community? How do we find the balance? What are the rewards and the risks\, what is the beauty and what is broken when we find ourselves truly alone? \nMeet online or in person in Annapolis\, Maryland; Washington\, DC; or Santa Fe\, New Mexico. \nReading List for 2025–26\nSeptember: Sophocles\, Philoctetes\nOctober: Ovid\, Tristia\nNovember: Kamo no Chōmei\, Hojoki: A Buddhist Reflection on Solitude\, Imperfection and Transcendence\nDecember: Descartes\, Discourse on Method\nJanuary: William Shakespeare\, Richard III\nFebruary: Friedrich Nietzsche\, Thus Spoke Zarathustra\nMarch: Emily Dickinson\, The Poems of Emily Dickinson\nApril: Hannah Arendt\, Origins of Totalitarianism\nMay: Toni Morrison\, Jazz \nTuition\n\nIn-person tuition for Year of Classics is $1\,050 per individual seminar.\nThe tuition for the Cosmos Club Section is $1\,500\, which includes pre-seminar gatherings with refreshments.\nOnline tuition for Year of Classics is $850 per individual seminar.\nWith proof of current employment as an educator\, participants receive a fifty percent discount on seminar tuition.

SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: "Benito Cereno" by Herman Melville
DESCRIPTION:21-Jul\nBenito Cereno\nhttps://www.gutenberg.org/files/15859/15859-h/15859-h.htm#chap03\nHerman Melville\n80 pages \n  \nExcerpt: \nIn the year 1799\, Captain Amasa Delano\, of Duxbury\, in Massachusetts\, commanding a large sealer and general trader\, lay at anchor with a valuable cargo\, in the harbor of St. Maria—a small\, desert\, uninhabited island toward the southern extremity of the long coast of Chili. There he had touched for water. \nOn the second day\, not long after dawn\, while lying in his berth\, his mate came below\, informing him that a strange sail was coming into the bay. Ships were then not so plenty in those waters as now. He rose\, dressed\, and went on deck. \nThe morning was one peculiar to that coast. Everything was mute and calm; everything gray. The sea\, though undulated into long roods of swells\, seemed fixed\, and was sleeked at the surface like waved lead that has cooled and set in the smelter’s mould. The sky seemed a gray surtout. Flights of troubled gray fowl\, kith and kin with flights of troubled gray vapors among which they were mixed\, skimmed low and fitfully over the waters\, as swallows over meadows before storms. Shadows present\, foreshadowing deeper shadows to come.
