Apocatastasis Institute

Apocatastasis is a place where the pristine ideal of a school has been restored: teacher and students gathered in discussion around serious texts. Shorn of childish props like grades, GPAs, and credentials, the school proudly rights two errors in contemporary education: the tendency to inculcate bourgeois sentiments, and predatory financing. Public or private, religious or secular, in a formal classroom or at the home-school kitchen table, all forms of schooling are guilty of these distortions. Apocatastasis replaces the long-fallen purpose of education: the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake. Our coursework focuses on the history, art, and culture of the West. Giving a thorough foundation in the humanities, we avoid the unnecessarily long and expensive route of modern education.

A sudden Turn - Tales of Eucatastrophe

1 Follower

A Sudden Turn is a channel devoted to telling true stories of Eucatastrophe and the peoples and times caught up in them. Eucatastrophe is the sudden and unexpected turn from bad to good piercing through the backdrop of catastrophe that shrouds history and darkens our understanding. Let us, through these stories, look beyond the past and present darkness and begin to see, not how it is, but how it is meant to be. Life does not demand a catastrophic ending, we are meant for a happy one. All content falls under fair use: any copying of copyrighted material is done for a limited, educational and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. Historic storytelling would not be possible without the dedicated work of countless individuals in the field of photographic/film documentation. A Sudden Turn hopes to honor their work and the peoples and events they captured.
