| Description | Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum is thrilled to announce the return of Folio Philosophy Club, in collaboration with Professor Jason Frederick Lambacher, Ph.D. Political Science, University of Washington. What does it mean to live a good life? In this discussion group, Jason guides us through life lessons from history's greatest philosophers with the help of author Eric Weiner's book, The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers. In The Socrates Express, Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and travel in a globe-trotting pilgrimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from great thinkers around the world, from Rousseau to Nietzsche, Confucius to Simone Weil. Each essay will be paired with short, primary readings from featured philosophers in the book. Whether you're new to philosophy or searching for practical and spiritual lessons to help you navigate today's chaotic times, this club is a great place to start your journey. |
