Hi, Sadly so much of the genius and intellect in our society is wasted creating new, useless or even destructive needs in people in order to get them to part with their hard-earned money. Artists from all the humanities have been complicit in creating this dysfunctional society we live in. We all need to make a living, mouths to feed, etc., so I am not blaming the creatives in our society. But, I believe those with artistic talent or philosophical wisdom need to come together to help improve our …

We meet monthly in my living room in Sherman Oaks. N …

Wikipedia states "a salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th century and 18th centuries, were car …

We will meet every other week (unless people want to meet more) to discuss great works of philosophy. I will outline the readings to get us started, but then we will open it up to the group to see what interests everyone. The readings will be kept short so that you can jump in when you have the time. We will mostly meet around Hollywood (suggestions are welcome for locations) and will be trying out some different times at first to see what works for members.

This is a great group for anyone interested in the most important connection in the history of thought. Two very profound areas of philosophy and thinking emerged in civilization -- The East and The West. There are so many interesting intersections but there have only been a handful of thinkers like Carl Jung or Herman Hesse that have let these traditions speak to each other. Our exploration is more than "he said, she said." We will generate a new way of looking at the world through our journey.
