SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Because this is an election year\, we have decided to read what many say is the first modern political treatise: The Prince\, written in the early 16th century by Niccolò Machiavelli. Being a classic\, this book is readily available just about anywhere at a reasonable cost\, and may even be in your own library. \nA downloadable copy can be found on Gutenberg.org. There is nothing Machiavellian about the MISF Philosophy Study Group. However\, anyone even thinking about attempting some kind of power move is not treated kindly.

SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will conclude our book\, The Swerve\, by Stephen Greenblatt. After reading the first half of the book\, we feel that it deserves all the major awards and prestigious endorsements it received. The controversy that it created\, however\, comes from the second half\, and we will discuss whatever feelings we have about that at this meeting. You are invited to come and share your own. Some controversies\, however\, we will explicitly avoid\, especially in an election year. But\, then again…

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled (to be rescheduled)\nWe will begin a discussion of the book\, The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness (revised second edition\, 1998) by Simon Wiesenthal. This book consists of a story of a German soldier asking forgiveness from the author – a Jew – for an atrocity the soldier had committed. At the time of the request\, Wiesenthal was an inmate in a World War II concentration camp. \nAfter relating the story\, Wiesenthal then presents analyses by several dozen people – clerics\, authors\, politicians\, journalists\, and others – whom he had asked to comment. Should this soldier be forgiven\, and why or why not? When this book first came out in the 70’s it became popular among some groups to provoke discussions. It has lost none of its power since then. It is available in paperback for around $12-15\, and as an ebook for about $10. (Note that later editions and revisions of the book added more commentators. If you happen to have or get an earlier edition\, it will not have as many. While this does not\, of course\, mean that you should not use it\, it is just something to be aware of.) For the 30th we will read the first fifteen chapters. Personally\, I think that our group should well positioned to be able to provide a robust analysis of this book\, if you’ll forgive me for saying so.
