Millerman School — Serious Political Philosophy with Michael Millerman

Who This Is For

For serious readers and serious questions

Millerman School is for people who want real engagement with primary texts, durable arguments, and the philosophical foundations beneath politics, technology, ideology, and modern life.

📚

Readers returning to philosophy

You want to revisit the great books seriously, with guidance, structure, and a teacher who can make difficult texts intelligible without flattening them.

🧭

Founders, investors, and operators

Facing questions — about technology, sovereignty, legitimacy, and order — that their usual advisors cannot meet at depth. You want a philosopher to think with, not another consultant.

🧠

People done with summaries

You have already seen the explainers and secondhand takes. Now you want careful reading, serious interpretation, and access to what the authors actually say.

Study Options

For a small number of clients, private study may also lead into more applied philosophical counsel around institutions, strategy, technology, politics, or judgment. Counsel is selective and arranged by inquiry. Learn about counsel.

Private Study

How private study works

The goal is not vague coaching. It is sustained, serious engagement with texts and questions that matter.

01

Start with an inquiry

Tell Michael what you want to read, why you want to study, and where you are getting stuck.

02

Build a study path

Clarify the authors, themes, and questions most worth your time, whether classical, modern, continental, political, or theological.

03

Study over weeks or months

Meet regularly, work through difficult passages, and develop a deeper grasp of the ideas shaping political and philosophical life.

Why Students Choose Millerman School

Serious instruction without academic fog

Primary texts first

Direct engagement with the books themselves — not secondhand summaries or ideological filters.

Clarity without simplification

Difficult thinkers made accessible without being flattened into slogans, content bait, or trivia.

Individual or self-directed

Work privately with Michael, or study independently through the complete archive — whichever fits how you actually learn.

Speaking & Private Seminars

Bring serious political philosophy to your group

Michael is available for select in-person seminars, salons, institutional briefings, private events, and serious local gatherings.

These are not motivational speeches. They are rigorous sessions for groups that want to think through political philosophy, technology, ideology, liberalism, sovereignty, and the crisis of modern order at a higher level.

Your Instructor

Dr. Michael Millerman

Michael left academia to teach serious philosophy to people who actually want to learn. His students include software engineers, startup founders, investors, executives, and serious readers returning to the great books.

He has built more than 20 courses and hundreds of hours of lectures on Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Strauss, Dugin, and others — thinkers who shape how political and philosophical life actually works.

The work is close reading, long arguments, and the willingness to stay with a difficult text until it opens.

PhD in Political Science, University of Toronto · Subfields in Political Theory and International Relations · Collaborative degree in Jewish Studies · Author of 2 books · Translator of 7 Dugin books
