Gutenberg College

http://www.gutenberg.edu/ Gutenberg College is an accredited, four-year, Christian Great Books college in Eugene, Oregon. Gutenberg College offers a B.A.

We read the Great Books in a discussion-based format in order to help students grow in their understanding of God, the world, and themselves. in Liberal Arts. Through this degree program, students develop a broad skill set around critical thinking, writing, and communication that makes them sustainable in the 21st-century marketplace. These skills are sought after because they are highly transferr

able and do not become obsolete with technology. Students learn how to learn because they learn how to think, rather than what to think.

We are excited to announce Leigh Bortins of Classical Conversations as our keynote speaker at EdCon 2026!

Do historical models of education have a place in a digital age? Leigh Bortins, founder of Classical Conversations and Aerospace Engineer, argues that classical education prepares students to do their own thinking. Those who possess their own knowledge and human tools to use it are better equipped to use digital tools (such as AI) to their advantage than those who allow AI to do their thinking for them.

What do we mean when we refer to something as art? Is art the work of experts who specialize in the fine arts, or is art something that anyone can produce at any time? Is there any difference between good art and bad art? Is art more about process than about product? Does art need to have a function? Is living a good life an art? In this session of Young Philosophers, we will explore the nature of art and discuss the relationship among process, purpose, and product.

Young Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “What Is Art?” on Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 6-7 p.m. PST. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso.

The next Great Books Symposium is March 2!

Philosophers and their ideas are sometimes the drivers of change, and sometimes they are reacting to change. How did the moderns become modern? What were the issues and questions that inspired them? What was the character of their inquiry, and how did modern culture interact with it? In this seminar, we will gain an overview of some of the key features of philosophical inquiry from the 16th century to the 20th.

This seminar will be led by Dr. Charley Dewberry.

Dr. Dewberry is a tutor and the academic dean at Gutenberg College, a practicing scientist and stream ecologist, and the author of "Saving Science: A Critique of Science and Its Role in Salmon Recovery" (2004) and "Intelligent Discourse: Exposing the Fallacious Standoff Between Evolution and Intelligent Design" (2006). He has an M.A. in fisheries and wildlife and a Ph.D. in philosophy with an emphasis on philosophy of science.

EdCon 2026 is August 7-8! Register at gutenberg.edu/edcon!

From the printing press to the internet, technology has altered the way we discover, record, and communicate knowledge. It has changed how we learn and what we learn. At our 2026 Education Conference, we hope to give parents, teachers, and life-long learners the chance to take a step back and examine some of the driving factors and effects of our technological age.

To help open and direct the conversation, we've invited three guest speakers and chosen selections from two books pertinent to the topic:

GUEST SPEAKERS:

Leigh Bortins, founder of Classical Conversations
Andrew Pudewa, founder of the Institute for Excellence in Writing
Kristen Rudd, independent teacher

READINGS (selections from):

Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
by Neil Postman

"Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman’s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media—from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs—it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment."

Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity
by Paul Kingsnorth

"With masterful insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game—and how your very soul is at stake."

Early Registration is open, and starts at $130 for an individual, with family and group discounts available. Registration includes admittance to all lectures, workshops and discussion sessions, lunch Friday, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
