To prepare, please read the text to the best of your ability. A reading guide is available below. If you are unable to read ahead, please come anyway!

After brief introductions and a review of the discussion policies, the facilitator will ask participants to submit questions and ideas for discussion.  The facilitator will then guide the group in working through as many of their questions as possible before recapping and wrapping up the discussion.

No background in philosophy is expected or required. We are excited to discuss the ideas raised by your interaction with the text!
