SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will finish discussing David Hume’s classic\, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. In the second half of the book Hume talks about free will and critiques miracles\, among other topics. These things are still quite controversial and often ruffle feathers even 300 years later. And we intend to do just that. At least we will if we so choose. \n

SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will start a new book: Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence (2015) by Karen Armstrong. A new paperback of the book is around $17 and an ebook is $14. For the 2nd we will read Part I. \nArmstrong has won numerous awards for her books and is regarded as one of today’s best authors on religion. This book examines the traditions of the major world religions and how they may or may not have contributed to the many occurrences of warfare and other violence that has erupted over the millennia. It is not a spoiler to say that she comes down on the side of religion. So in order to keep things balanced\, we are looking for people who come down on the side of violence. But even if you don’t favor violence\, we would love to have you attend. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin a discussion of the book\, Philosophy in the Flesh: the Embodied Mind & Its Challenge to Western Thought (1999)\, by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. \nFor the 9th we have a little different reading assignment: Read as much as you can of Part I\, but at least the first four chapters. This is a big book and we’d like to get through as much as we can before people start wanting to go on to something different. \nThe book can be purchased for $7\, including shipping\, from Abe Books.The authors\, both cognitive linguists\, examine recent research on cognition and claim that many of the major conclusions of classical philosophers are based on assumptions that are wrong\, which probably include some of our own. But here’s an assumption you can bank on: If you attend our meetings\, you will be able to engage in stimulating conversations. You can’t assume\, however\, that we have all the answers. But we do have some of them. And I assume that some of those might even be right.

SUMMARY:Rent Control in Minneapolis and St. Paul: Program features and potential  impacts
DESCRIPTION:Rent control comes in many varieties in the U.S. In this talk\, Prof. Edward Goetz of the University of Minnesota describes the range of different approaches that have been used by cities across the country and summarizes what the research says about their impacts. Goetz will then take a look at the Minneapolis and St. Paul initiatives and how they might affect the local housing market in each city. \nEdward G. Goetz is professor of urban planning at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs and director of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) at the University of Minnesota. His expertise is in housing and community development policy\, especially as they relate to issues of race and class. He is the lead author of a report to the City Council of Minneapolis on Rent Stabilization\, the author of five books and numerous articles on affordable housing policy and planning. His most recent book is The One Way Street of Integration: Fair Housing and the Pursuit of Racial Justice in American Cities\, published by Cornell University Press.
