As explained in the “Description” section of this
website, the Think Tank of the Academy has its own sources of training material
essentially based on Ancient-Greece Philosophy. The list is flexible and
reviewed on a regular basis, but essentially quite well established. At the
moment, this material is reserved for internal use but the list will eventually
be published when the Campus gets to be fully operational.
In the meantime many
empathizers visiting our website send in suggestions for possible additional
material or books to be considered. Here is an indicative list of authors and books suggested so far
by various empathizers and visitors. These are being reviewed and considered as
possible sources for additional ideas and/or material for the holistic training
provided by the Academy.
The list cannot at all be considered
exhaustive, nor in particular yet approved by the Academy. The
list is nevertheless posted, but only as an element of
interest. We invite our empathizers to send us their comments on these
books, positive or negative, as a matter of reflection and consideration on our
side. The list is in alphabetical order of the last names of the authors,
and not in any order of importance.
