New group meeting time!

Hi everyone!

It looks like Tues is no longer convenient for everyone. Rachel and I have agreed that Thursdays might be better. Let's meet Thursday, November 14 at 5:00 pm at the Pourhouse. We'll talk about Journal & what we want to read next. Happy Halloween!

If fate does not yet again take the wheel, then Journal for next Tuesday

Hello everyone!

Due to a scheduling error, I am just now learning that I have a mandatory meeting to attend. Rachel & I decided to just postpone for next week, when I am sure there will be a tornado or hurricane or some other divine interference. Perhaps a plague. As long as locusts do not descend upon our town, we will meet next Tuesday, October 22 at 5:00 pm at the Pour House. See you then!

Journal for this Tuesday

Hi everyone!

We will finally be reading Journal of the Plague Year for this Tuesday's meeting. Please read as much or as little as you have time for. Any comments will no doubt be helpful to Rachel, who is including a chapter on this text in her dissertation. We look forward to seeing you 5:00 pm Tuesday at the Pour House on Kirkwood!

Moliere at IU theater for Tues!

Greetings everyone! This week we will be postponing the Journal to see Moliere's "The Imaginary Invalid" at the IU Theater.

Tickets are $15 and the play begins at 7:30. We will meet at Lennie's at 5:30 for dinner beforehand, so please join us for food, friends, and theater!

(We will resume normal meetings next week with Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year.)

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!

Correction -- Hegel's Philosophy

I made an error in posting the reading for this Tues; we will be discussing Section I Subsection C (Philosophy & Mind) and Section III. My apologies & see you Tuesday!

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!
