SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Our next book is: The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine by Serhii Plokhy.  We are taking on the 2021 revised edition that is evidently quite popular as it is a little challenging to track down (Barnes & Noble\, Amazon\, and Harvard Bookstore are the only options with stock today). \nUkraine has long been the gateway between East and West.  From the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union\, it seems history truly does repeat. Award winning author of multiple titles and current Mykhailo S. Hrushevs’kyi Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard\, Ploky provides a great deal of context to better understand the current situation with Russia\, and much more. \nFor this session we are going to read the first 3 Parts: On the Pontic Frontier\, East Meets West\, and Between the Empires\, chapters 1-17 (ending on page 199).

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin reading A History of Philosophy in the Twentieth Century (2001) by Christian Delacampagne. The paperback version retails for around $28 ($23 on Amazon)\, but there are used books available for less. There is no ebook edition for this title. For the 11th we will read through Part I. \nWhat is unique about this book is that it self-consciously considers the political influences at play in the development of the philosophical positions taken by twentieth century philosophers\, claiming that “[p]hilosophy is essentially a political activity.” Whether you agree with that or not after finishing the book is\, of course\, an open question. Maybe we’ll vote on it.
