In ancient Egypt the city and Library of Alexandria was the meeting place where philosophical, spiritual, and cosmological teachings flowed together to create vital new syntheses and a flourishing cultural environment.

Today, Alexandria is still an important city in Egypt. But it is also a journal published in book form devoted to exploring the philosophical, spiritual, and cosmological traditions of the Western world; a meeting place for people interested in ancient and modern cosmological speculation and what the humanities have to contribute to contemporary life; a humanities forum and Garden of Discourse without walls.
