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:The Heirs of Muhammad...the Sunni-Shia Split - Session I
DESCRIPTION:Continuing our journey through the ages and across the lands\, our next stop is the Prophet Muhammad\, and what happened after his death. Accordingly\, we will be reading and discussing The Heirs of Muhammad: Islam’s First Century and the Origins of the Sunni-Shia Split\, by Barnaby Rogerson. For this first session we will be reading and discussing the first 6 chapters\, to page 170. \nThis book looks at the Sunni and Shia schism in relation to actions of the Prophet’s cousin and son-in-law Ali and his wife Aisha. Just to make it more interesting\, I ordered a version with a slightly different title. Find your copy and come to the meeting to see what kind of schism multiple versions might cause!
