Most philosophy education is:

  • Superficial — YouTube explainers that miss the depth
  • Academic — jargon-filled, politically captured
  • Inaccessible — reading lists with no guidance

Millerman School is different:

  • Serious study of primary texts
  • Clear instruction, no ideological agenda
  • Learn at your own pace with expert guidance

Dr. Michael Millerman

I left academia to teach philosophy to people who actually want to learn.

My students include software engineers, startup founders, VCs, and curious minds who want depth without the institutional baggage. I've consulted for hedge funds on political philosophy, written two books, and taught hundreds of students through private tutoring and online courses.

This isn't philosophy-lite. It's the real thing, made accessible.

PhD in Political Science • Author of 2 books • Private consultant to executives and institutions

Reviews

"Michael's enthusiasm for the real-world import of philosophy is immediately palpable, and his command of a wide range of material, and fluency expressing it, is rare. I reached out with some frustrations about Heidegger, and Michael immediately offered to sit down and talk them through with me—for an hour! An absolutely excellent teacher."

"I didn't have any political education or awareness. But now I can study authors in a way that is not superficial, pedantic, or partisan. It's just the truth about life, and about people... how we approach life and how to improve ourselves."

— Marilyn

"One of the major things I got out of the course was learning how to read these books in a way that you understand and see more than you would have on your own."
