This is a “technical” post, to summarise what I’m planning to do with the “Small Apple Night School” (see https://wallsofutica.blogspot.com/2020/10/proposal-for-citadel-of-permanent.html for more).
WHO WILL BE INTERESTED?: Do you want a space where philosophical conservatives can learn together? Where you can make up for a misspent youth by soaking in great literature, all whilst discussing it with like minds? Where the workload fits in to the boiling pot of daily life? Then this is for you.
WHEN IS IT STARTING?: Monday 30th November 2020
HOW WILL IT WORK?: In a pod of six (including one facilitator – in the first tranche, this will be me), you will read 5 classic books or shorter works, or top-rate modern nonfiction, over the course of 6 months. You will then have the opportunity to discuss those works on a private Slack Channel, both in the text chat and, if desired, via voice chats.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?: At this point, it’s 100% free!
HOW CAN I JOIN?: If we know each other already, even passingly (like being Twitter mutuals!), email me at owenedwards@hotmail.com or DM me on Twitter (@owenedwards), including your email, and I’ll add you to the slack channel. If we don’t know each other, either get someone I know to recommend you to me, or get in touch anyway and we'll have a chat.
WHAT'S THE FIRST SYLLABUS?:
- Plato, "Euthyphro"
- Shakespeare, “Richard II”
- Macaulay, “Horatius at the Bridge”
- Runciman, “Constantinople 1453”
- Kirk, “Politics of Prudence”
