Lyceum
Peripatetic philosophy's birthplace
A lyceum is an institution for popular education, offering lectures and concerts to the public.
The term comes from the garden near Athens where Aristotle taught, lending it associations with learning and intellectual cultivation.
In the 19th-century United States, lyceums were community organizations that brought speakers and debates to local audiences: The lyceum circuit made celebrities of lecturers like Emerson and Thoreau.
Today the word appears mainly in the names of schools and theaters.
