To find out more about Aesthetic Realism

I hope that, as you explore my website, you’ll want to learn more about the education of Aesthetic Realism, with its understanding of the world, the arts, and the human self. Studying it has made my life rich and happy, and it can do this for every person.
A few ill-motivated people have used the web to lie about Aesthetic Realism. I hope you’ll use your critical mind to see past these lies, and find out about the logical, beautiful, honest education that is Aesthetic Realism.

Here are just some of the many websites through which you can learn more!

→Aesthetic Realism Foundation

→Public seminars at the Foundation, about women’s and men’s questions, art, music, education & more

Note: These are not taking place during the quarantine, but will resume when we’re able to attend public events. I can’t wait!

→Special theatrical and musical events

→Self and World: An Explanation of Aesthetic Realism, by Eli Siegel

→The Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method

→Aesthetic Realism Online Library

Every two weeks, a new issue of the periodical The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known is published. These issues include commentary by Chairman of Education Ellen Reiss, lectures, essays, and poems by Eli Siegel, and papers by students of Aesthetic Realism from public seminars. The subjects that TRO deals with are wide-ranging, and include Education; Literature and Poetry; Economics; Mind, and the questions of men and women.

Here are some issues I’d like to call your attention to:

“Keats, Beauty, & Ourselves” – with the first part of Eli Siegel’s great lecture on the work of John Keats Poetry, Atmosphere, & Neatness

“How Aesthetic Realism Sees Art” – including a 1956 class about this subject

“For Our Time: Six Poems by Eli Siegel”

“The Coronavirus, a Woman of France, & Our World”

“The Two Kinds of Cleverness”

“The Self: Clever, Deep, & Confused”

“What Makes Imagination Kind or Cruel?”

“Beauty & Dissatisfaction”

“Timothy Lynch Represents America”

Poems by Eli Siegel. Here are some that I love: “Hot Afternoons Have Been in Montana,” “Quiet, Tears, Babies,” “Hell, What Is This About, Asked Again,” “The Lord Has Stolen Her Whims,” “Any Star and Shakey, “Eagles Go with the Fine News to Many Places.”

A new semester of Aesthetic Realism classes!

During the past two pandemic years, many of the thrilling classes that had been given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation began to be given in a new form: via video conference. I’ve loved attending them, learning about the visual arts, poetry, music, anthropology, and more—and to see the subjects as related to my very self. Though registration officially ends on May 5 (today!), people can request to audit a class. I encourage you to find out about this great, great education!
