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!
