How civil should one aim to be in our increasingly divisive age? Consider joining several members of the philosophy department who will be meeting to discuss a brand new book on the topic: The Wrong of Rudeness: Learning Modern Civility from Ancient Chinese Philosophy (link). Though the author, Amy Olberding, is a philosopher, she intends the book for a wide audience and writes in an accessible fashion. The discussions will take place on the following schedule:
Wednesdays, 10:20-11:15 AM, Dundon-Berchtold Hall 132
- Oct. 9: Chapters 1-3
- Oct. 30: Chapters 4-6
- Nov. 11/13 or 20 (depending on group’s preference): Chapters 7-9
