Caffeinated Resurrection, Part 2: After Action Report

Aristotle brings it

So Aristotle, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Husserl faced off at the Gnu’s Room. I wore dark glasses and made the case for Aristoteleanism as a way to stop being stupid without becoming crazy. (Stupid = the unexamined life; crazy = believing stuff you can’t coherently live.) At the end the audience voted to keep Aristotle alive and to return the others to the grave. Mission accomplished.


Caffeinated Resurrection

It’s time for more Philosophy at the Gnu’s Room! (I forgot to announce our last one, “Philosophy & Technology,” Oct. 24.) Tonight’s session (Weds., Nov. 14, at 5:00 p.m.) is a panel of Dead Philosophers, at which various department members will be representing their favourite dead philosophers. I’ll be playing Aristotle. Come on by!
