SUMMARY:October 13Young Philosophers:What Is Propaganda?
DESCRIPTION:As members of a mass society\, we are daily inundated with information. This data overload can create a thick and complex soup of ideas and questions in our minds. Before we fully understand what we think about something\, we may find ourselves (or others) reacting strongly to particular claims without fully understanding why. What is the relationship between our reactions and the daily data dump? How do media and mass communication shape not only our thoughts but our actions as well? In this session of Young Philosophers\, we will explore key questions and issues of propaganda. \nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “What Is Propaganda?” on Monday\, October 13\, from 6-7 p.m. PDT. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso. \nAttendee Requirements: High-school age\nMaximum Attendees: 12 \nMore about Young Philosophers \nRegister Here for Zoom AttendanceEliot Grasso is the vice president and a tutor at Gutenberg College where he teaches art seminars and leads discussions in Western Civilization and the Great Conversation.

SUMMARY:December 1—Great Books Symposium: An Overview of Ancient Philosophy

SUMMARY:January 12—Young Philosophers: What Is Love?
DESCRIPTION:The broader culture says that “love is love.” So\, what does this tautology mean? If love is love\, then what is love? Is it an emotion or a choice or a commitment? Is it temporary or lasting? Is it temporal or transcendent? When Jesus talks about love\, is he saying\, “love is love\,” or is he saying something different? If the greatest commandments are\, first\, to love the Lord our God with all our heart\, soul\, mind\, and strength and\, second\, to love our neighbor as ourselves\, then love is a topic worthy of inquiry. In this session of Young Philosophers\, we will explore key questions and issues of love. \nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “What Is Love?” on Monday\, January 12\, 2026\, from 6-7 p.m. PST. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso. \nAttendee Requirements: High-school age\nMaximum Attendees: 12 \nMore about Young Philosophers \nRegister Here for Zoom AttendanceEliot Grasso is the vice president and a tutor at Gutenberg College where he teaches art seminars and leads discussions in Western Civilization and the Great Conversation.

SUMMARY:January 13—Great Books Symposium: Aristotle
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, Aristotle was considered one of the world’s leading authorities on a variety of topics ranging from science and art to ethics and language. But who was he? What was his philosophy like? Why was he so influential for so long? In this seminar\, we will touch on some of Aristotle’s historical context and his foundational ideas in an effort to understand one of Western Civilization’s greatest minds. \nA webinar for K-12 teachers in the private school\, the public school\, and the homeschool. \nMaximum Attendees: 20\, so be sure to reserve your spot early.

SUMMARY:2026 Winter Institute:You Shall Love
DESCRIPTION:Love is the central command of the Bible. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength\, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But what does it mean for imperfect people like us to love both the transcendent God and one another? This winter\, we will draw on biblical passages and Kierkegaard’s Works of Love to consider how these two loves relate to each other\, how they reflect God’s love for us\, and how they manifest in our own lives. \nPlease join us for a full day of lectures\, discussions\, shared meals\, and the art exhibit “Love’s Work” at Gutenberg’s 2026 Winter Institute on January 24! \nGo here for details.\nRegisterSign Up for Conference Update Emails

SUMMARY:January 31—Young Philosopher's Conference
DESCRIPTION:Gutenberg College is excited to host Young Philosophers in Pursuit of Truth and Wisdom\, a day-long conference for Christian teens.\nA philosopher is one who loves wisdom and pursues truth wherever it leads. In an age of moral chaos and confusion\, Gutenberg College invites the next generation of thoughtful Christians to engage in meaningful discussion around questions central to living a good life: \n\nWhat does it mean to know and live according to Truth?\nHow do we discern Truth amidst the noise of the world’s propaganda?\nHow do we love our neighbor in an age of moral chaos?\n\nOur time will be grounded in talks and discussions led by Christian mentors as we examine classic works. Our goal is to cultivate thoughtful dialogue and a habit of reflection—teaching students how to think rather than what to think. By engaging in Socratic-style discussions\, we aim to encourage young people to embrace Christianity not merely as cultural inheritance but as a true\, choice-worthy description of reality. \nIn the evening\, teens will watch a short film followed by further discussion. Food and snacks will be provided throughout the day. \nTo preserve the depth and intimacy of the conversations\, participation will be limited to 50 students. \nRegister for the Conference($40 for student. $25 to add a sibling.) \nLearn more about Young Philosophers.

SUMMARY:March 19—What Is Art?
DESCRIPTION:What do we mean when we refer to something as art? Is art the work of experts who specialize in the fine arts\, or is art something that anyone can produce at any time? Is there any difference between good art and bad art? Is art more about process than about product? Does art need to have a function? Is living a good life an art? In this session of Young Philosophers\, we will explore the nature of art and discuss the relationship among process\, purpose\, and product. \nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “What Is Art?” on Thursday\, March 19\, 2026\, from 6-7 p.m. PST. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso. \nAttendee Requirements: High-school age\nMaximum Attendees: 12 \nMore about Young Philosophers \nRegister Here for Zoom AttendanceEliot Grasso is the vice president and a tutor at Gutenberg College where he teaches art seminars and leads discussions in Western Civilization and the Great Conversation.
