Reason and Inquiry is a space for intellectual curiosity and lifelong learning. Inspired by the ideal of Bildung, it is built on the belief that education should be about more than acquiring a degree. It should broaden perspectives, sharpen judgment, cultivate a scientific mindset, and encourage a willingness to engage seriously with difficult questions.
The site brings together research, reading, and discussion in the hope of promoting analytical thinking both within and beyond the classroom. It is dedicated to students and faculty at the University of Gothenburg who share these convictions.
To everyone else: you are just as welcome!
The Reading Corner
Books, reading groups, and discussion
The Reading Corner is the soul of Reason and Inquiry because it is where we get to interact — with each other as well as with the books I rave about on the site.
Enter the Reading Corner to find out which books are on the current reading list, alongside discussions and resources connected to the reading group.
