Seven questions the tradition has been arguing about for two and a half thousand years, one a day, each with a primary text and one thing to do before tomorrow. It's the shape of the work, at a size you can test in a week.
Aristotle on the thing everything else is for the sake of.
Epictetus, and the line that most men draw in the wrong place.
Cicero on duty, and why "be a good man" is not an answer.
Seneca and Montaigne on death as a subject of study.
Socrates at his trial, and the discipline of the honest question.
Thucydides and Machiavelli, read without flinching.
MacIntyre on the unity of a life, and the reading list.
Seven days. Seven questions worth a life's attention, and the reading list this whole project is built on. One short email a day, then you decide if the full work is for you.
No spam. Unsubscribe any time. We would rather have ten serious readers than a thousand subscribers.
The course is free and complete on its own. It is also how most men find out whether the Academy is for them: the last email tells you how to apply, and nothing before it tries to sell you anything. If you only ever read the seven emails, you'll have read seven passages worth the rest of your life, and we'll call that a success.
