Philosophy

Limited to 16 participants. This group will choose non fiction books that have something to say, make us think, and promote a spirited discussion. This class is intended to challenge with the goal of understanding others and ideas better. Except for the first month, participants will select the books. The first book is: The "S" Word, A Short History of an American Tradition Socialism by John Nichols.

Instructor: Pat Russell, Paul Jenkins Members: $8; General Public: $13

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Mortality is a subject many prefer to avoid, but Tolstoy’s powerful novella offers a rare opportunity to confront it with honesty and depth. Described as "one of the most lacerating works of literature ever written," The Death of Ivan Ilyich explores dying, denial, and the truths we often hide from ourselves and others.

This is a discussion-based class, not a lecture. Reading the book in advance is required. It’s widely available online, often for free or under $1.

Spirituality in the 21st Century NEW!

Has one book changed the way you view spirituality? The Universe? One’s connection to something greater than oneself? Author Lori Szepelak will briefly share several books that opened her eyes to what is possible if you are open to new ideas about spirituality. Additionally, attendees are welcome to bring a book or two as well to share their insights on what helped them discover (or re-discover) what the Universe offers to all of us.
