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. Discounts are available to the first 16 teacher registrants.\n\nSIGN UP NOW

SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: "The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. Du Bois (Part II)
DESCRIPTION:4-Aug\nThe Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois \n“Of the Training of Black Men”\n“Of the Black Belt”\n“Of the Quest of the Golden Fleece”\n“Of the Sons of Master and Man”\n“Of the Faith of the Fathers” \nhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/408 \n80 pages \nExcerpt: \nFrom the shimmering swirl of waters where many\, many thoughts ago the slave-ship first saw the square tower of Jamestown\, have flowed down to our day three streams of thinking: one swollen from the larger world here and overseas\, saying\, the multiplying of human wants in culture-lands calls for the world-wide cooperation of men in satisfying them. Hence arises a new human unity\, pulling the ends of earth nearer\, and all men\, black\, yellow\, and white. The larger humanity strives to feel in this contact of living Nations and sleeping hordes a thrill of new life in the world\, crying\, “If the contact of Life and Sleep be Death\, shame on such Life.” To be sure\, behind this thought lurks the afterthought of force and dominion\,—the making of brown men to delve when the temptation of beads and red calico cloys. \nThe second thought streaming from the death-ship and the curving river is the thought of the older South\,—the sincere and passionate belief that somewhere between men and cattle\, God created a tertium quid\, and called it a Negro\,—a clownish\, simple creature\, at times even lovable within its limitations\, but straitly foreordained to walk within the Veil. To be sure\, behind the thought lurks the afterthought\,—some of them with favoring chance might become men\, but in sheer self-defence we dare not let them\, and we build about them walls so high\, and hang between them and the light a veil so thick\, that they shall not even think of breaking through.

SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: Acts of the Apostles
DESCRIPTION:18-Aug \nActs \nhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%201&version=NIV \n28 \n  \nExcerpt: \nOn the next day\, their leaders\, elders\, and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem\, with Annas the high priest\, Caiaphas\, John\, Alexander\, and all who were of the high-priestly class. They brought them into their presence and questioned them\, “By what power or by what name have you done this?” Then Peter\, filled with the holy Spirit\, answered them\, “Leaders of the people and elders. If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple\, namely\, by what means he was saved\, then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified\, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed. He is ‘the stone rejected by you\, the builders\, which has become the cornerstone.’ There is no salvation through anyone else\, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.” Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated\, ordinary men\, they were amazed\, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus.
