"The Art of the Self" - Philosophy for Lunch
Friedrich Nietzsche repeatedly explored the idea that we can bring the tools of art to bear on reimagining our selves. We can “give style to our character” by emphasizing certain aspects of our selves and reinterpreting or down-playing others. We'll read passages from a few great texts.
Philosophy for Lunch happens every Wednesday from 12–1PM.
Who's invited?
No preparation or previous knowledge of philosophy is needed. Everyone is welcome!
Should I bring anything?
Bring a beverage, and if you're hungry, bring your actual lunch.
What is this?
Some students and a philosophy professor (or two) close-read and discuss a few of the greatest passages in the history of philosophy.
