The Promise of Philosophy and the Landmark Forum
Steven R. McCarl University of Denver - Department of Political Science Steve Zaffron Vanto Group Joyce McCarl Nielsen University of Colorado at Boulder - Department of Sociology Sally Lewis Kennedy Graland Country Day School Contemporary Philosophy, Vol. XXIII, No. 1 & 2, Jan/Feb & Mar/Apr 2001 Barbados Group Working Paper No. 01-01 Abstract: Philosophy promises more than contents of thought. It can cultivate openness to continuously arising new contents of thought. Unconsciously identifying with the contents of thought displaces this openness; the remedy for such unnoticed closed mindedness is self-knowledge. In the Socratic tradition the Landmark Forum - a forty-hour course sponsored by the employee owned Landmark Educational Corporation - provides a model of philosophy as the practical art of uncovering and expanding self-knowledge and thereby generating unforeseen ways of being in everyday life.
