The American Wisdom Project is a pilot research and teaching curriculum of the Innermost House Foundation at the College of William & Mary. The Project exists to bring an American Wisdom Tradition into focus, through which to illuminate the great wisdom traditions of the larger world. It develops from Williamsburg in the 18th century to Concord and Walden Pond in the 19th century, to the Far West in the 20th century, and beyond to their roots in the cultures of Native America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Like its ancient forebear at Oxford University, Literae Humaniores, the American Wisdom Project is a laboratory for the cultivation of a "more humane learning." 11.18 12.2 12.9 930-1130
