Join us in reading Divine Comedy by Dante

We strongly recommend that you read the book with us--you will get the most value from these Meetups if you do so. But, you are welcome even if you have not read the book.

Format:
1) Introduction to the material by Rosella, Doug & Phil
2) Those who are reading the book get to share their thoughts about the assigned reading for that Meetup (see schedule below)
3) Breakout rooms with 6-8 people each
4) Takeaways and go around: Everybody can comment
5) General discussion

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.
