New from Not School this September

September 2, 2015 by Nathan Hanks Leave a Comment

Hey everyone, Nathan Hanks here with the latest from Not School for listeners and members this September. Anyone can listen to this new highlight from Philosophical Fiction #15 on "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov. And Members, we have a bunch of new group proposals to join, several confirmed groups to check out, and plenty of time to propose your own this September.
You can also catch the Augustine Aftershow Sunday 9/6 at 3pm Eastern time! The aftershow will be hosted by Danny Lobell and Wes Alwan, who will be joined by guest academic James Wetzel from Villanova University. You can watch it happening live on YouTube or become a PEL Citizen and join its Not School group to appear on it yourself.
Here are some new Group Proposals:
  • Anatheism: Returning to God After God by Richard Kearney
  • The Irony of American History by Reinhold Niebuhr
  • Spinoza's Ethics, Parts I and II
  • Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant
  • The Philosophical Canon (for ambitious folks)
  • Irony (with suggested readings)
Here's our Confirmed Groups:
  • The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley on Sept. 13th
  • Frankenstein by Mary Shelley on Sept. 20th
  • “Identity and Hegemony” by Ernesto Laclau, TBD in September

You can also start your own group by watching Michael Sandel's Harvard Series on Justice, or getting a poetry collection, or playing a "Metal Gear" game to discuss War, History, and Existence—just some food for thought. Use this thread to brainstorm group ideas if you're not ready to actually propose something.

Citizens interested in joining The Partially Examined Life's "Not School" can find what's happening now in the Citizen's Forum. If you are considering Becoming a Citizen, it's easy, affordable, and fun.

If you're interested in Not School just contact me, that's nathan@partiallyexaminedlife.com.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion

Become a PEL Citizen!

As a PEL Citizen, you’ll have access to a private social community of philosophers, thinkers, and other partial examiners where you can join or initiate discussion groups dedicated to particular readings, participate in lively forums, arrange online meet-ups for impromptu seminars, and more. PEL Citizens also have free access to podcast transcripts, guided readings, episode guides, PEL music, and other citizen-exclusive material. Click here to join.
