Lakewood: The Thinking City
Welcome to Lakewood the Thinking City!
We think that reasoned discussion is too important to be left to the experts and to involved to be left to the individual. To bring out the best thoughts of all, we must engage in dialogue with one another . Communitarianism is our philosophy, and our philosophy is communitarian. In addition, we attempt to cultivate reasoning, for worthwhile discussion demands that we be practiced in the everyday logic of discussion.
We offer information on discussions and similar activities within Lakewood; guidance to help you think in a clearer and more reasoned manner; accounts of past discussions; and a few general commentaries. These are spelled out in the boxes just below.
Lakewood students: Investigate MINDSHARE: Research any topic you'd like, with the library's help, and share your results among your group.
We also welcome short and thoughtful essays about topics related to Lakewood or in response to items that have appeared on this web page. They must be original and of the sort that will stimulate reasoned discussion. (And if you want to know more about the reasoning process, consult the introduction below.)
