QUICK OVERVIEW
\nIn this evening’s discussion program, we’ll explore some of the core concepts in Aristotle’s account of friendship. We’ll consider why one might pursue friendship, the role of ethical character, and what sorts of things help friendship flourish. We’ll also ask whether friendship can arise only among equals, or whether it’s possible for people of very different status to be friends as well (e.g., what it would take for genuine friendship to exist amidst such disparities of power, authority, or other human differences). Evening program runs from 6:30pm-8:30pm. As always free & open to the public. Learn more & RSVP here: https:\/\/merlinccc.org\/calendar-event\/philosophy-workshop-aristotle-on-friendship\/<\/p>\n
WHAT WE’LL EXLORE
\nThe virtue of friendship was highly valued in ancient Greek philosophy, from the early Pythagorean fellowships, through nearly every major philosophical school and tradition, down to the final synthesis of these various schools in the Athenian Academy, more than 1,000 years after Pythagoras. In between, Aristotle devotes two out of the ten books of his Nicomachean Ethics entirely to the topic of friendship \u2014 far more space than he gives to any of the other virtues.<\/p>\n
In this evening\u2019s program, we\u2019ll explore some of the core concepts in Aristotle\u2019s account of friendship. We\u2019ll consider the various goals toward which friendship might be directed, the need for true friends to be of good ethical character, and the conditions under which friendship can flourish.<\/p>\n
Finally, we\u2019ll follow Aristotle in asking whether friendship can arise only among equals, or whether it\u2019s possible for people of very different status to be friends as well. Can a parent truly be a friend to her child, a teacher to his students, or a ruler to her subjects? Rather than a mere all-or-nothing account, we\u2019ll be able to consider the question in terms of what it would take for genuine friendship to exist amidst such disparities of power, authority, or other human differences.<\/p>\n
And throughout all these themes, we\u2019ll be building a robust picture of what it takes to become, and to remain, a true friend.<\/p>\n
WORKSHOP DISCUSSION STRUCTURE
\nOur discussion will be centered around some short extracts from Aristotle\u2019s writings on friendship in Books VIII and IX of the Nicomachean Ethics, which we\u2019ll read aloud together during the session. These should, in turn, provide the springboard for robust reflection, critique, and self-examination as we examine Aristotle\u2019s arguments and their applicability to our own lives.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"philosophy-workshop-aristotle-on-friendship","image":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024.png","id":39907,"extension":"png","width":700,"height":445,"filesize":509407,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":191,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":88813,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-300x191.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-300x191.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-300x191.png"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":39490,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-150x150.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-150x150.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-150x150.png"},"content-img":{"width":447,"height":430,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":250260,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-447x430.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-447x430.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-447x430.png"},"content-img-alt":{"width":564,"height":445,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":346359,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-564x445.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-564x445.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-564x445.png"},"business-logo":{"width":375,"height":238,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":129751,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-375x238.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-375x238.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-375x238.png"},"business-single":{"width":360,"height":312,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":155624,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-360x312.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-360x312.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-360x312.png"},"post-preview":{"width":188,"height":180,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":55489,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-188x180.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-188x180.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-188x180.png"},"post-preview-2x":{"width":376,"height":360,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":184323,"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-376x360.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-376x360.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"},"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024-376x360.png"}},"s3":{"url":"https:\/\/helenamt.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024.png","bucket":"helenamt","privacy":"public-read","key":"2024\/11\/Aristotle-on-friendship_Dec-2024.png","provider":"do","v":"4.0.2","optimized":false,"options":[],"formats":[],"mime-type":"image\/png"}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2024-12-04

& Discussion Series: Jewish Environmental Wisdom","description":"
This reading & discussion series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy, as the love of wisdom, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh, the textual source of Judaism, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable, then, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.<\/p>\n
Together, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel, Leo Strauss, Daniel Delgado, James Hatley, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway, with one guest facilitator joining along the way.<\/p>\n
Some core questions that we’ll explore:<\/p>\n
— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?
\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?
\n— In Montana, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?
\n— What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction?<\/p>\n
While each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit), participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings, ideas, and questions explored.<\/p>\n

Parking\/Location Details
\nParking is free at the corner of Park and Broadway at this time of day. Peace Bridge Reiki is located at 36 S. Last Chance Gulch, Suite 10 Helena, MT 59601. This building should be easy to find from the parking lot: you’ll see a building marked “36” on the door window to the building, and some stairs leading up to this door. My suite is the first one on your left after you come inside the building and walk around the hallway corner. You can also enter the building from the walking mall: it is the building next door to Birds & Beasleys. You’ll see ‘Peace Bridge Reiki’ on the glass door. When you come in through the door, walk all the way down to the end of the hall, to the last door on the right.<\/p>\n
2024 Holiday Schedule

This reading & discussion series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy, as the love of wisdom, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh, the textual source of Judaism, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable, then, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.<\/p>\n
Together, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel, Leo Strauss, Daniel Delgado, James Hatley, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway, with one guest facilitator joining along the way.<\/p>\n
Some core questions that we’ll explore:<\/p>\n
— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?
\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?
\n— In Montana, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?
\n— What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction?<\/p>\n
While each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit), participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings, ideas, and questions explored.<\/p>\n
FREE & open to the public. Donations appreciated. Learn more, check out what we’ll be reading here (seats limited!): https:\/\/merlinccc.org\/event\/reading-discussion-series-environment-jewish\/<\/p>\n

This reading & discussion series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy, as the love of wisdom, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh, the textual source of Judaism, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable, then, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.<\/p>\n
Together, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel, Leo Strauss, Daniel Delgado, James Hatley, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway, with one guest facilitator joining along the way.<\/p>\n
Some core questions that we’ll explore:<\/p>\n
— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?
\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?
\n— In Montana, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?

& Discussion Series: Jewish Environmental Wisdom","description":"
This reading & discussion series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy, as the love of wisdom, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh, the textual source of Judaism, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable, then, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.<\/p>\n
Together, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel, Leo Strauss, Daniel Delgado, James Hatley, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway, with one guest facilitator joining along the way.<\/p>\n
Some core questions that we’ll explore:<\/p>\n
— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?
\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?
\n— In Montana, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?
\n— What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction?<\/p>\n
While each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit), participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings, ideas, and questions explored.<\/p>\n

& Discussion Series: Jewish Environmental Wisdom","description":"
This reading & discussion series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy, as the love of wisdom, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh, the textual source of Judaism, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable, then, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.<\/p>\n
Together, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel, Leo Strauss, Daniel Delgado, James Hatley, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway, with one guest facilitator joining along the way.<\/p>\n
Some core questions that we’ll explore:<\/p>\n
— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?
\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?
\n— In Montana, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?
\n— What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction?<\/p>\n
While each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit), participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings, ideas, and questions explored.<\/p>\n

& Discussion Series: Jewish Environmental Wisdom","description":"
This reading & discussion series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy, as the love of wisdom, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh, the textual source of Judaism, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable, then, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.<\/p>\n
Together, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel, Leo Strauss, Daniel Delgado, James Hatley, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway, with one guest facilitator joining along the way.<\/p>\n
Some core questions that we’ll explore:<\/p>\n
— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?
\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?
\n— In Montana, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?
\n— What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction?<\/p>\n
While each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit), participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings, ideas, and questions explored.<\/p>\n
FREE & open to the public. Donations appreciated. Learn more, check out what we’ll be reading here (seats limited!): https:\/\/merlinccc.org\/event\/reading-discussion-series-environment-jewish\/<\/p>\n
