Dear Friends of Developmental Philosophy,
In his upcoming presentation to our Zoom group, distinguished integralist Rand Stagen will discuss his fresh ideas on the political and cultural tensions currently roiling our society. Using the analogy of a big tent, which is held up by the tension between poles, Rand will expand on his 2024 presentation to our group titled “The Pursuit of Higher Ground,” which you can view on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/WIsFzRnrwIw?si=JmUESVH9T_4GxUtE
Rand’s presentation will include a dialogue between him and Steve, followed by extensive audience Q&A. Please join us for this vital discussion.
