SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin a discussion of the book When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth (2004) by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber. For the 12th we’ll read the first ten chapters. This is a book about how myth operates in preliterate societies by taking advantage of aspects of the human mind that we are just beginning to learn about. Joseph Campbell it is not. \nUnfortunately\, this is not an inexpensive book\, though it’s still not like buying a textbook. A new paperback lists for $35 and even an ebook starts at $20. We’re going with it anyway\, since inflation has recently driven prices of many commodities significantly higher and we do our best to stay current. Perhaps you could negotiate to get the seller to include a dozen eggs. \n

SUMMARY:Dealing with Today's Social Problems Using Systemic Tools Developed in the Medical Field (The Annual Rhoda Lewin Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:In the early-1950’s diagnosing medical conditions was greatly assisted by organizing the human body into 7 levels. This led some educational Institutions to begin naming their biological departments as “Life Sciences”.  Within these new departments there emerged areas referred to as Bio-Chemistry\, Bio-Physics\, and Bio-Math\, followed by Bio-Medicine\, Bio-Engineering\, Bio-Metrics\, and more. As all this development in Biology and related fields unfolded\, people began to see that procedures developed to deal with medical problems could also be applied to other kinds of problems that we all face in today’s world: environmental protection\, children and family protection\, political misinformation and others. This talk will explore those procedures and how they might be used. \nDavid Juncker received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Physiology. Before his retirement \, he was both a Professor at the University and and an executive at Medtronic. He is currently president of Field Associates. Dave was at one time an accomplished fencer and still plays a pretty mean flute.
