Journal of the Plague Year for Oct 1
Greetings! Last week we had a productive meeting about Hegel and phenomenology. Next up is Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year. While this is a fictional account of the plague, it is thought that Defoe was influenced by his uncle's journals, as well as the diary of Samuel Pepys, which is available in a convenient web-blog format. If for any reason you decide to check out Pepys first, note that the year of interest is 1665.
We will not be meeting this upcoming week, but rather next week, Tuesday October 1 from 5:00-6:00 pm at the Pourhouse on Kirkwood. See you there!

Hegel's Philosophy of Mind
Hi everyone!
Sorry to post this so late! For next week we'll be reading Hegel's Philosophy of Mind, sections I and III (Mind Subjective & Absolute Mind). The readings are tasking but short, and they are more condensed versions of some of the main ideas in Phenomenology of Spirit. If you want to read and discuss other sections instead or in addition to these, you are more than welcome.
Philosophy of Mind
I look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday at 5:00 pm at the Pourhouse on Kirkwood!

Readings for Next Week (9/10)
Hi All!
We decided to go with a lighter reading for next week as we are all still adjusting to our new fall schedules. We will be reading two dramas for this week--one in honor of IU Theatre's September performance, which the reading group plans to attend together! Links to the texts (in English) will be provided below. Feel free to just read one, but we'll be talking about both!
Texts:
Moliere, The Imaginary Invalid (1673)
Haywood, A Wife to Lett (1724)
As always, we will be meeting at the Pourhouse on Kirkwood on Tuesday, 9/10 from 5 - 6 p.m.
We also wanted to cue you into the readings for the following week, 9/17, so that you can get a head start during our light reading week if you so choose! For our 9/17 meeting we will be delving into philosophy: Hegel's Philosophy of Mind and Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding.
Until next week, C18 readers!

Start of Term Meeting
Hello All!
Welcome back from a brief summer haitus!
Just a quick note: for Fall 2013, our regular weekly meetings will take place on Tuesdays from 5 - 6 p.m. at the Pourhouse on Kirkwood.
Our first meeting of the term, which is today, September 3rd, will take on two parts. It is completely up to you which parts you would like to attend, but it would be really great if you could either e-mail Kate or myself (Rachel) if you cannot attend Part II, as it concerns all members!
Part I: 5 - 5:30 p.m. - Finishing up discussion of Don Juan
Part II: 5:30 - 6 p.m. - Planning the first initial readings of the semester
If you could not read Don Juan, don't sweat it (I wasn't here either, so I'm out of that one, too!)--but do join us to plan the texts we'll be reading next, as well as other fun events and practical group workshops that we'd like to do this term.
See you all soon!
Cheers.
Rachel (and Kate)
