The Institute conducts continuously recurrent series of introductory seminars, An Introduction to Philosophic Inquiry, in which all students are encouraged to participate.  Periodically recurrent series of advanced seminars provide unusual opportunities for comparative analysis and critical investigation of fundamental principles of metaphysics, epistemology, logic, ethics, psychology, politics, economics, and aesthetics. 

The Institute conducts periodically recurrent series of interdisciplinary seminars and laboratories for professionals and students concerned with the nature of cognitive processes in men and machines.  Series are conducted in sensorial, perceptual-motor, and conceptual development, developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, information theory, artificial intelligence, and related academic and scientific disciplines. 

This work leads to the formulation and practical application of sound theories of learning and creativity in early-childhood education and effective parenting.  Some interpretations of these theories are tested at the College of Early Learning, a Montessori primary, elementary, and secondary school, operated by the Institute, where children of some of the seminar participants, reveal how they learn to learn, providing scientific insights into the nature of consciousness.
