Details

This is the first meeting of a group devoted to reading Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons (all of it!). For this first meeting, we'll focus on Part 1 ("Self-Defeating Theories"), Chapter 1 ("Theories that are Indirectly Self-Defeating").

While the format and guidelines of the group will probably evolve over time depending on participants' backgrounds and interests, here are a few notes to start:

  1. If you want to participate, do the reading!
  2. Really: If you want to participate, do the reading!
  3. It's ok to join and listen if you haven't done the reading.
  4. Be respectful of others.
  5. Make room for all to speak; don't hog the mic.

I'll add a Google calendar invite + Jitsi link closer to the event.
