Upcoming Events

Carlos Reads Book ClubMonday, November 30, 2009The Carlos Museum announces Carlos Reads, a new book club in which distinguished members of the Emory faculty guide participants through great literature from around the world and throughout time. Alfred North Whitehead’s famous quote characterizing the western philosophical tradition “a series of footnotes to Plato” underscores the importance of the 5th century Athenian to the history of thought up to the present day. Beginning on Monday, November 9, Dr. Richard Patterson, Professor of Philosophy at Emory, will lead readers through Plato’s most influential work, the Republic. Over four evenings, Dr. Patterson will lead lively a lively discussion of Plato's attempt to answer the questions, \"What is justice?\" and \"Why should we be just?\" (among others) through an examination of human nature, politics, the role of art in society, and the foundations of all reality. For the book club, Dr. Patterson has selected G. M. A. Grube's masterful translation of the Republic, which preserves the subtlety of Plato's philosophical argument while rendering the dialogue in lively fluent English that remains faithful to the original Greek. Fee: $35 for non-members; $25 for members and includes the book. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To register, contact Elizabeth Hornor by phone at 404. 727.6118 or by email at ehornor@emory.edu. Mondays, November 9, 16, 30 and December 7
