The original courses began in London, England in 1936 as a study in economics.

Philosophy studies and courses were started in the early 1950s, Inspiration for the courses was gathered from many sources including Plato, Socrates, the Judaic-Christian teaching, Renaissance humanist Marsilio Ficino, Shakespeare, Hermes Trismegistus, Zen and Sufi stories and the Vedantic tradition of the East.
