A two-week institute for twenty-five college and
university faculty examining six ancient and modern philosophical approaches to
living a good life.
A two-week NEH Summer Institute for college and university faculty focusing on the idea of "Philosophy as a Way of Life" is to be held at Wesleyan University in July of 2018. This Institute will gather together philosophers who have taught "way of life" classes and allow them to share their insights, experiences, and pedagogical strategies with other professors looking to adopt this model in their classrooms, and will also include sessions led by experts on specific “way of life” approaches.

Funding for this project comes from the Mellon Foundation, but the impetus and ideas emerged directly from the Summer 2018 NEH Institute, Reviving Philosophy as a Way of Life.
