The web log of the secular monastery project
/about/

This is intended to be a serious record of economic and technical practices that individuals can use to promote free scholarship and critical inquiry in their present or future communities.

It is hoped that first-time contributors will propose their own detailed, pragmatic models for an actual community designed to promote these activities, addressing, if appropriate:

  • location, facilities
  • duration; seasonality
  • routine
  • scale, scope
  • relation to technologies
  • funding
  • membership
  • legal structure
  • comparison with existing institutions

Non-novel debate concerning the basic merits of the secular monastery project is somewhat discouraged: The opposition already amply pervades ordinary life, while general support of the concept is assumed and therefore not considered a valuable contribution.

Debate on the merits of specific proposals is strongly encouraged!
