About the Lyceum Project

Based squarely on the premise that philosophy can be beneficial to the improvement of individual lives and the common life of the community, the Lyceum Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of philosophy in the public domain. The Lyceum project is dedicated to the application of philosphy on all levels of community affiliation as a form of meditation, intervention, and reflection. This non-profit organization is committed to offering community services to individuals and groups pro bonum or at reduced fees. The goal of these activities is to create a reflective and deliberate public consciousness which is essential for a true democracy.

	History


	Aristotle established a school in Athens which he called the Lyceum. Many educational centers have used this name since then. In the 1830s, adult education flourished in America as the citizens of towns and villages supported Lyceums to host classes, lectures and activities for public enrichment . Emerson and Thoreau made their living to a large extent by lecturing on the Lyceum circuit. The LYCEUM PROJECT is dedicated to continuing this tradition into the 21st century.
