SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:The book we are tackling this time is From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt against the West and the Remaking of Asia (2012) by Indian author Pankaj Mishra. A new paperback version of the book lists for $20\, but can be found for less. An ebook is $13. This meeting will cover the first three chapters. \nThis is a book about some of the seminal thinkers who helped shape today’s Asian world. It was named a book of the year or an editor’s choice by the New York Times\, The Economist\, and the Financial Times. And if they had known about us\, we would have been named the best History Study Group in Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Link \nFor this meeting we will spend our time discussing Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous by George Berkeley. First published in 1713\, it has become a part of the traditional epistemological oeuvre. \nIt is no longer in copyright and is readily available\, both as a new book (usually with commentary) or used or for free online. With respect to the latter\, your best bet is probably Gutenberg.org where it is available in several formats. This book is relatively short and not difficult to read\, so we will only spend one session on it. \nThis book is the good Bishop Berkeley’s response to what he saw as the materialism of empiricists like John Locke. While no other philosopher ever endorsed his position\, he is admired for his logical and coherent arguments which have made the book a classic. We will have our own dialogue about Berkeley’s Dialogues and hope to be as logical and coherent as he was. Unfortunately\, in spite of repeated attempts\, we were unable to reach either Hylas or Philonous\, so neither will be in attendance.

SUMMARY:Annual Picnic
DESCRIPTION:This is our annual summer picnic\, resumed after a year off because of the pandemic. MISF will provide the drinks\, plasticware\, and grills\, and St. Paul Parks & Rec will provide the electricity and more grills. You provide your own food\, as sharing amongst the group is discouraged at this point in time\, but that doesn’t extend to your best topics for good conversations ; and\, as the event is outdoors\, mask-wearing is optional.
