SUMMARY:Philosophy Workshop: Aristotle on Friendship
DESCRIPTION: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/ \nWHAT 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 — far more space than he gives to any of the other virtues. \nIn this evening’s program\, we’ll explore some of the core concepts in Aristotle’s account of friendship. We’ll 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. \nFinally\, we’ll follow Aristotle in asking whether friendship can arise only among equals\, or whether it’s 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’ll 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. \nAnd throughout all these themes\, we’ll be building a robust picture of what it takes to become\, and to remain\, a true friend. \nWORKSHOP DISCUSSION STRUCTURE\nOur discussion will be centered around some short extracts from Aristotle’s writings on friendship in Books VIII and IX of the Nicomachean Ethics\, which we’ll read aloud together during the session. These should\, in turn\, provide the springboard for robust reflection\, critique\, and self-examination as we examine Aristotle’s arguments and their applicability to our own lives.

SUMMARY:Reading & 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. \nTogether\, 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. \nSome core questions that we’ll explore: \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? \nWhile 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. \nFREE & open to the public. Donations appreciated.
