this quarter we are welcoming everyone back to campus, and kicking off our fall 2022 hopr line-up with an in-person meeting on friday october 7 with our very own jc gonzalez, who will present work in progress on kant’s theory of concepts and how it is supposed to fit with kant’s account of purposiveness — the rest of the fall schedule is more or less set, and it looks like we have some great hopr’s in store for winter and spring as well
we are back to online meetings for the month of january — including our first meeting on jan 14 with julia grieg (ucsd), on the concept of death in epicurean thought — scheduling is underway and later meetings for the term will be announced hopefully in the next week or so
we’ll kick off the new term and new year on friday jan 22, with a discussion of a paper by zack brants (ucsd) on pleasure in the philebus
the other date already penciled in is feb 26, when we’ll welcome lydia patton (virginia tech)
more dates to be arranged; stay tuned!
a very nice line-up for the discussions — we’ll be continuing to meet via zoom for the fall 2020 quarter
