Kant's Tribunal of Reason, Sofie Moeller (continuing from p. 68)
Details
We will continue our exploration of Sophie Moeller's Kant's Tribunal of Reason, continuing from p. 68 in chapter 4 and continuing at least through chapter 5 (p. 95).
We've decided to proceed at a faster pace then we set before. To that end, everyone is asked to read the text beforehand and, possibly, formulate some questions they have about the meaning of the text; we will address the questions, starting with the leader's own questions, without reading each sentence or paragraph in the meeting. The focus remains for us the meaning of Moeller's text about Kant.
We meet on the first Sunday of every month, from 3-5 pm, at Cafe Express Town & Country.
We always welcome new participants.
We are amateurs at this, so all that's required to participate is a genuine interest. We're also a Great Books group, and although we don't follow their method exactly, all the time, (http://www.houstongreatbooks.net/resources.html), we try to stick to clarifying the text itself. Any questions or insights about the text are welcome; any outside material that takes the place of the text for the most part isn't. Since we all have some exposure to philosophy, and have our own ideas about philosophy, we ask that any such ideas that you want to introduce be directly relevant, and your own, in the sense that you aren't appealing to authority (Kant's, for example, or a religious text). Although we often bring in examples, and these are helpful, we try to limit examples to those that are directly relevant to the text. In other words, we try to follow the text, and any conclusions we might try to introduce should be conclusions drawn from the text and what it says.
It should be a conversation, starting with genuine questions about what the text says , rather than a lecture by anyone about what he or she thinks, believes, or has concluded. We're interested in what the author thought and said.
Please join us for a discussion! If you have any questions, please contact Bill.
Note that our meeting time is now 3-5 pm.
