Our Mission
The Madhyamaka School of Applied Philosophy is a non-profit dedicated to bridging logic, rationality and critical thinking with modern life. Through our outreach in schools, colleges and corporate, we provide students and professional with practical tools of Socratic Critical Thinking, Scientific Observation and Ontological Logic to maximise learning, sharpen analytical skills, and develop confidence and clarity to explore those directions in life which otherwise seem difficult or beyond one's reach.
What is Madhyamaka?
Madhyamaka is one of the ancient Indian philosophical systems which were built entirely on logic, rationality and observation. From western scholars to eastern spiritual masters have all agreed on one thing - the key to high intellect and stable calmness is not mere learning of texts and books but rather observation, logic, analysis and continuous questioning, things that are at the heard of our value system.
Our Vision
To create a culture of logic, reasoning and critical thinking in our country that may enable our youth to obtain the intellectual depth needed to navigate life with clarity, balance, and a profound awareness of their own thoughts, biasnesses, motivations and actions.
Our Values
Application
We don't teach theory. Every workshops are driven by practical case-studies, discussions and arguments.
Intellectual Rigor
We discourage blind belief and encourage students to test every concept they come across through the lens of their own logic.
Inclusion
To ensure access for students from all economic backgrounds, we charge fees for our workshops only where students are able to afford it.
Happiness
What's the point of learning that makes you suffer? True learning must result in enhanced love for the process and greater joy.
Facilitators
MSAP is a place of practical enquiry and practiced knowledge. Even though the teachers at the school have studied courses and gained degrees, it is their own self-practice and experience that allows them to teach and share with students.
