The main purpose of the essays and related discussions is to support a culture of open and principled reflection on matters of intellectual interest to the public. Our interactions require that each of us be open to the different views of others. It is hoped that each perspective, including your own, is examined through the filter of rational inquiry. We are not here to teach each other, but to learn and to be open to incorporating what we experienced into our own thinking.
To be part of the rich educational offerings of the Lewes, Delaware library providing an opportunity for citizens to be part of welcoming learning community.
We encourage individuals to propose and submit essays either selected or self-written to aramterzian@aol.com for review.
