The Promise of Philosophy and the Landmark Forum is a paper published in 2001 by the Journal of Contemporary Philosophy. One of the authors is a principle in Landmark Education, the organization that puts on the Landmark Forum. He has published two other papers since this one [1][2] It deals with contemporary methods of applying philosophy and Socratic dialog as instantiated in a course called the Landmark Forum put on by Landmark Education.

Here is the abstract of the paper: Philosophy promises more than contents of thought. It can cultivate openness to continuously arising new contents of thought. Unconsciously identifying with the contents of thought displaces this openness; the remedy for such unnoticed closed mindedness is self-knowledge. In the Socratic tradition the Landmark Forum - a forty-hour course sponsored by the employee owned Landmark Educational Corporation - provides a model of philosophy as the practical art of uncovering and expanding self-knowledge and thereby generating unforeseen ways of being in everyday life.[3]
