SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will start reading one of the most influential books written by a native of Minneapolis\, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (1974)\, by Robert Pirsig. This book may already be in your library or\, if not\, it can be had for less than $8 (the 25thanniversary paperback edition of 2006)\, or for $8 as an ebook. For January 7th we’ll read Parts I and II. \nThis is an ambitious assignment: about a chapter a day. But the chapters are short and the book is basically a philosophical novel. Do the best you can and we’ll adjust next time if necessary. Please note that attendees are expected to supply their own tools. And be sure to wear clothes you won’t mind getting dirty… just kidding. Really\, all you have to do is bring your motorcycle.

SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Our new book is 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus (2006) by Charles C. Mann. This book can be had for around $15 in paperback and $14 as an ebook. For the 16th we will read the first five chapters. The author uses recent research to upset many of the assumptions that people have had about Native Americans before the arrival of European explorers. \nYou will not be upset\, however\, by reading and discussing this book with the literate\, intelligent\, witty\, cosmopolitan\, friendly\, gracious\, and good-looking folks who show up at our meetings. And you could be one of them by just coming.

SUMMARY:The Romansh in Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Among the mid-19th century waves of immigrants from northern Europe to the U.S\, and Minnesota\, the Romansh people from Switzerland were a small but influential group\, Often counted with Swiss immigrants as a whole\, or with German\, French\, or Italian immigrants\, their story in Minnesota\, though carefully saved in family histories\, has not been well known publicly. \nBarbara Sommer\, with support through a Gale Library Fellowship from the Minnesota Historical Society\, has researched and written a short history of the move of Romansh people from the canton Graubünden to Stillwater\, Le Center\, St. Paul and other areas of Romansh settlement in Minnesota.This program will cover information gathered by Sommer about Minnesota’s Romansh immigrants and their families\, including the story of her great-great grandmother. \nBarbara is a 4th generation Minnesotan\, a public historian with a specialty in oral history\, and a published author. She became interested in her Romansh heritage when told by a family member many years ago to remember “We are Roman” – a statement often made by people of Romansh background. Interested in learning more about what this meant\, in 2017 she applied for a Gale Library Fellowship from the Minnesota Historical Society. With this support\, she researched and began to document Minnesota’s little known Romansh story. The results of her work are available on MNopedia (http://www.mnopedia.org/group/romansh-minnesota).

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group\, Session 1
DESCRIPTION:The next MISF Philosophy Study Group meeting will be in two sessions. Session 1 will be on Monday\, January 28\, and session 2 will be Wednesday\, January 30. Both will be at 7:00 pm at Curran’s Restaurant\, 42nd and Nicollet in Minneapolis\, and both will cover the same ground: Part III of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values by Robert Pirsig. You can come to either one or to both. \nPersig is now getting into the heart of his arguments about quality. Want to see quality in action? Then come and experience the amazingly clever and insightful ripostes of our members as they skillfully wield their intellectual bludgeons on each other.
