The 秀色短视频 Philosophy Reading Group will meet on Tuesday, December 17, from 7:00-8:00 pm in the Lady Slipper Room at the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, 97 Queen Street, Charlottetown. All are welcome.
During this gathering, we will discuss Todd May's introduction to the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. The following is a brief overview of the book:
"This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century鈥檚 most important and elusive thinkers. Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze鈥檚 philosophy: how might one live? The author then goes on to explain how Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this approach, the full range of Deleuze鈥檚 philosophy is covered. Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May鈥檚 introduction will be widely read among those in philosophy, political science, cultural studies, and French studies."
If you would like to attend, please reach out to Dr. Max Schaefer at mschaefer@upei.ca for more information.
