Lived responses to  
life’s big questions.

Every spring at Yale, we engage a number of guest practitioners whose lives have been shaped by a particular cultural, religious, or philosophical tradition.

Meet Practitioners

 of the good life.

We promote truth-seeking conversations across enduring lines of difference in secondary and higher education classrooms around the world.
