Periagoge
Scenario

When your book club becomes more about defending ideas than exploring them

Three of us have been meeting monthly to discuss the books that changed our lives, but we've fallen into a pattern where we each defend our worldview instead of letting the ideas actually challenge us, and I miss the vulnerability we used to have.

What we've seen

The group has shifted from genuine inquiry to intellectual performance, losing the openness that made real learning possible.
