Why another blog/site?

Peripatetics.org provides a cyberspace for faculty and students at Philadelphia Biblical University (and anyone else) to discuss learning, teaching, education, life, reality, and …

During the 2007-08 academic year, a varying group of faculty and students met over dinner every Thursday in order to discuss these and other topics, inspired by the writings of Neil Postman, Josef Pieper, James Schall, Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato, Martin Buber, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and [many] others. We met in order to encourage each other to read works that are permanently worthwhile rather than ephemerally interesting; to think about what we do as faculty and students, and why, and how; to discuss how we might foster and invigorate a new pedagogical culture at PBU, and see that culture spread into general education (both Christian and public), as well as into the life of the Church at large.

Please feel free to join our conversation, to affirm or challenge our thinking, and to point us in good and positive directions.

Thanks!
