LSAS Seminar Detail
Liberty Seminar for Adults (LSAS)
The Liberty Seminar for adults (LSAS) introduces concepts of reflective thinking. In the course, we read, listen, dialogue, and reflect the principles of a free society. Reflective thinking is the foundation of genuine, long-term learning. And you’ll have fun doing it! When you’ve completed this course, you can take these skills into any area of learning to learn more deeply.
Course Overview
LSAS is a 15 week (semester) course!* Your will have access to weekly lessons on this website. At the end of each week, Saturday mornings, all the adult students join their Socratic coach for Zoom call. In the call, you will be guided with reflective questions to get them thinking more deeply about the lesson for that week.
Course Outline
LSAS is designed to take you from unreflective thinking to becoming aware of the basic skills and best practices for reflective thinking. To accomplish this, there are three modules.
M1: Self-Awareness
Lessons are designed to get students to become aware of their own thinking.

- Manipulation P2: How to Respond
M2: Learn Inquiry
Lessons are designed to help students use inquiry to learn new things.

- Property & Exchange
- The State
M3: Practice Strategy
Lessons are designed to help students practice and expand their inquiry and dialogue skills
- Application of Liberty

- A Strategy for Liberty
Included in the Course
Included in the course are the tools that help build reflective thinking skills. These resources are put together into 15 self-paced audio lessons and corresponding worksheets. The bulk of the course are the Socratic-style Zoom sessions that allow us to practice these skills. And of course, we must have something to think and dialogue about, and so the course includes the reference material for that.

Founder of Mere Liberty Courses, Author, Independent Researcher, B.A. Philosophy
I’m a veteran homeschool parent and have now branched out teaching critical thought using the Socratic method and dialoguing about the principles of a free society. One of those fundamental principles is in the freedom to think, explore, and discover how the world works. I use the Socratic method as a means of discovery and self-improvement in the key skills of critical thinking.
