The Risk of Discovering Something New
Groundbreaking scholar of pre-Socratic philosophy Peter Kingsley describes how traditions and institutions of learning very rarely want to discover something truly new. After all, what if a new discovery shows that everything we've been doing is wrong? Are we willing to take that risk in order to learn something new?
Peter Kingsley's groundbreaking work on the origin of Western spirituality, philosophy, and culture is recognized throughout
the world. Through his writings as well as lectures he speaks straight

not only of the past but of who they are. The author of three books,
including Reality and In the Dark Places of Wisdom, he currently is an honorary professor at the University of New Mexico and also at Simon Fraser University in Canada.
