constitution are: “To advance the
education of the public in the spiritual and
philosophical traditions underlying western
civilisation as embodied especially in the
teaching of the key pre-Socratic Greek
philosophers and spiritual teachers
Pythagoras, Parmenides and
Empedocles”.| |---|---| ||Throughout 2025 our aim has been to
further our primary objective of promoting
the teachings of the pre-Socratics by
introducing them to a far broader and more
diverse audience than has hitherto been
possible. In all our activities, the trustees
have had constant regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission on
public benefit.
Following the publication of Peter
Kingsley’s ground-breaking two-volume
work ‘Catafalque’, and the highly
acclaimed ‘A Book of Life’, the
preservation of Dr Kingsley’s legacy has
been one of our highest priorities. To this
end, a team continues intensive work on
transcribing past lectures and workshops
with a view to creating an extra series of
books and booklets for distribution both to
college students and to members of the
wider public. Additionally, the charity is
working on the accurate archiving and
editing of an extensive library of audio and
video material focusing on the legacy of
the pre-Socratic philosophers.| **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Talks, meetings and online activities have helped us make substantial progress in bringing the legacy of the ancient pre-Socratic philosophers to a wider audience than ever. Transcribing and editing work has also moved forward and is allowing us to anticipate the publication of new books, and recordings, in future.
