Men & Women – Looking for Something

Dramatic readings of some of the great lectures on literature, ethics, economics, history, everyday life, and art given by Eli Siegel. There are reenactments of Aesthetic Realism lessons he taught, upon which Aesthetic Realism consultations today are based. And there are groundbreaking talks by artists and scholars in many fields—including jazz, architecture, photography, film—on this new way of seeing the arts, sciences, and reality itself.

This Was Mind in Russia; or, Chekov’s “The Darling” by Eli Siegel

“In 19th-century Russia, there was the problem of restraint, self-containment, stoicism, but also the desire just to let go, which Chekhov had….Roughly, he deals with two kinds of women: the woman who clings, is sweet, endures; and the woman who wants to manage everything.”

In Sex—Can There Be Both Pleasure & Self-Respect? Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson

“According to Aesthetic Realism, the purpose of reading an essay and of love are the same: to like yourself and the world. What bigger purpose is there? “—Eli Siegel

Ghiberti’s Bronze Doors; or, How Can Men Make Sense of Mind & Body? by Ernest DeFilippis

“The way Ghiberti used matter to get to depth is beautiful.I had used matter to have contempt for depth….I did not see the feelings people had inside as real, as real as my own.”
