We at Caldwell House believe that wisdom, and the seeking of it, are among the noblest things in life. Philosopher means ‘lover of wisdom’. The philosopher’s purpose is to seek and spread that wisdom. Like philosophers, we have searched the pages of history… From ancient Sumeria to the rise and fall of the Roman empire, through the Italian Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the Industrial revolution, and into the current swamp of big tech, pharmaceutical, and banking corporations and the military industrial complex that hold the modern world ransom…  Let these candles illuminate your mind as well as your room, as we explore history and with it, the evolution of humanity’s hopes and fears and the cyclical yet advancing nature that gives humanity’s story a unique place among the stars.
