SUMMARY:Philosophy Think & Drink
DESCRIPTION:Fun Gatherings that Stimulate the Mind!\nOur Philosophy Think & Drinks are casual\, community-oriented gatherings that are intellectually stimulating and fun.  You don’t need a background in philosophy to enjoy & participate.  An open mind & desire to engage in thoughtful dialogue (whether from a listening or contribution standpoint) is all that’s needed!  For those who love philosophy but prefer not to partake in the libations side of things\, don’t let that stop you from participating in the fun.  We emphasize the think over the drink! \nWhen\n2nd Thursday of every month from 7pm-9pm \nWhere\nReeder’s Alley — If the weather is conducive\, we meet outdoors in the pavilion.  If it’s cantankerous\, we meet indoors in the Conference Center. \nOther\nLight snacks provided.  BYOB. \n\nHow Do They Work?\nStep into the dojo!  Our Think & Drinks are monthly gatherings that consist of a “meeting of minds” over libations.  After nabbing goodies and seats\, getting acquainted & settling in…the eve begins. \n\nNo topics are off-limit; no questions are too broad\, narrow\, abstract\, or concrete.  Questions are posed by participants in a “round-robin” fashion\, clarified\, and then voted upon collectively.\nOnce our “avenue of philosophical pursuit” is in place\, we’re ready to dive into a fun night of facilitated philosophical discussion.\n\n

SUMMARY:Reading & Discussion Series: Jewish Environmental Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:What We’ll Explore\nThis reading series will be guided by the following central question: What wisdom might Jewish traditions offer for our current environmental crises? Philosophy\, as the love of wisdom\, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh\, the textual source of Judaism\, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable\, then\, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it!) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times.  \nThe French and Jewish philosopher\, Emmanuel Levinas\, had something similar in mind for his own philosophical project\, which has been described as an attempt to translate Hebrew into Greek—that is\, to express a Hebraic way of thinking within a Greek\, or philosophic\, context. Following in Levinas’s tracks here\, we will also consider larger\, contextualizing questions about the possibility of “translating” non-philosophical ideas into philosophical terms.  \nTogether\, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions\, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel\, Jacob Howland\, Daniel Delgado\, James Hatley\, and others.  Sessions will be discussion-based\, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway\, with one additional guest facilitator joining along the way. \nWhile each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit)\, participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings\, ideas\, and questions explored. \nFREE & open to the public. Donations appreciated. \nWhen\nEvery Other Wednesday \nSeptember 18th - October 30th\, 2024 \n7pm - 8:30pm\n\nWhere\nReeder's Alley Conference Center (101 Reeder's Alley)\n\nRSVP\nSign up here! (Seats limited)\n\nOther\nReadings will be e-mailed upon sign-up\n\nCost\nFREE (Donations Appreciated)\nSession Readings & Focus Questions\n\n9/18 — Judaism\, Philosophy\, and Translation \n\nReadings:  Jacob Howland\, “Plato and the Talmud”\nCore questions:  How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?\n\n10/2 — Between Home and Exile  \n\nReadings:  Daniel Delgado\, “You are but Tenants and Settlers” (supplemental/optional: Susannah Heschel\, “An Exile of the Soul”)\nCore question:  What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?\n\n10/16 — Jewishness and Montana: Bison and the Soul (with guest scholar James Hatley) \n\nReadings:  James Hatley\, “Living with Ghosts”\nCore question:  In Montana\, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?\n\n10/30 — Shabbat and Sh’mitah: Rest\, Release\, and the Land \n\nReadings:  Abraham Joshua Heschel\, “Architecture of Time” and Nigel Savage\, “Resetting the Planet through Sh’mitah”\nCore Question:  What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction?\n\n\n\nSeries Facilitators\n \nKaleb Cohen’s work sits at the intersection of philosophy\, environmental studies\, and critical theory. He has presented and published papers on various topics\, including the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas\, settler colonialism and environmental responsibility\, and the importance of oral traditions. He holds an MA in Environmental Philosophy from the University of Montana. His graduate work culminated in developing a distinctly Jewish and anti-colonial relationship with land. He also has a background in farming\, gardening\, ecological restoration\, and conservation. Kaleb lives in Missoula\, where he teaches for the Wild Rockies Field Institute\, makes bread\, and hibernates during the winter. \n\n  \n \nMitchell Conway is a Community Philosopher at Merlin CCC\, an adjunct philosophy instructor at Carroll College\, and serves on the Academic Advisory Board & Questions? Journal for The Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization. A student of philosophy\, a theater maker\, and a teacher who cares ardently about empowering young learners\, his work has often been an interweaving of education\, story\, and inquiry.  He also relishes walking in the forest.  Mitchell has a Bachelor’s degree in Theater from Skidmore College and a Master’s degree in Philosophy & Education from Teachers College\, Columbia University. \n\nMake a Donation Here\nOur philosophy activities are FREE to the community.  While donations are never expected\, they are always appreciated and help to keep programs like these going. Donations help to cover activity leader honorariums\, implementation\, and resource archiving\, and more!  If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution you can do so by clicking here.  For those facing more challenging financial circumstances\, we ask that you please try to “pay it forward” with acts of kindness for your neighbors and community.  \n

SUMMARY:Philosophy Walk: On Travel
DESCRIPTION:What We’ll Explore\nAccording to urban legend\, some famous novelist (maybe Tolstoy or Dostoyevski?) once quipped that there are only two stories: “A stranger comes to town” and “Someone goes on a journey.”  \nRegardless of who first said it\, there’s something to the notion that travelling is essential\, both to the ways we live\, and to the stories we tell to help make sense of those lives. \nIn this walk\, we’ll explore some of the ways that travel can be a space of encounter\, transformation\, and meaning.  We’ll compare modern experiences of travel with traditional theories and practices\, including: \n\nthe deliberate\, mindful walking of philosophers across the ages\, from Aristotle (whose school became known as the “Peripatetics\,” literally\, “the people who walk around”) to Henry David Thoreau\nthe practice of pilgrimage in literature and in human life\, from Chaucer and the traditional travels that inspired the Canterbury Tales\, to contemporary spiritual journeys to shrines\, temples\, and other numinous sites around the world\nthe traditional account of human beings as “self-movers\,” in that we’re choosers and initiators of action and motion\, not just passively getting bounced along by external forces.\n\nAs we walk and talk together throughout the morning\, we’ll think through what each of these three case studies can illuminate for us\, regarding contemporary practices of travel: \n\nHow might different approaches to travelling enhance (or impede) our fundamental human capacities and abilities?\nHow can travel create (or obstruct) opportunities for meaningful\, transformative encounters?\nIn what ways can the journey itself — or the even the mode in which we travel — be just as significant as the destination\, or even more so?\nAnd when we travel — whether close to home or to exotic destinations\, whether as a vacation or as part of our daily routine — how can we dance between purposeful planning & mindful openness to the unexpected?\n\n  \nWhen\nSaturday\, September 28th from 10:00am-1:00pm \nWhere\nSpring Meadow Lake (Our group will meet in the main/North side of the lot at the far end of the entrance) \nRSVP\nSign up here! \nCost\nFREE (Donations appreciated) \nOther\nWear weather appropriate attire & comfortable shoes \n\n  \nWalk Leader\n \nDavid Nowakowski is a philosopher and educator in the Helena area whose professional work is dedicated to helping people of all ages and backgrounds access\, understand\, and apply the traditions of ancient philosophy to their own lives.  David began studying ancient philosophies and classical languages in 2001\, and has continued ever since.  A scholar of the philosophical traditions of the ancient Mediterranean (Greece\, Rome\, and North Africa) and of the Indian subcontinent\, reading Sanskrit\, Latin\, and classical Greek\, he earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton University in 2014.  His work has appeared in a variety of scholarly journals\, including Philosophy East & West\, Asian Philosophy\, and the Journal of Indian Philosophy\, as well as in presentations to academic audiences at Harvard\, Columbia University\, the University of Toronto\, Yale-NUS College in Singapore\, and elsewhere. \nAfter half a decade teaching at liberal arts colleges in the northeast\, David chose to leave the academy in order to focus his energies on the transformative value of these ancient philosophical and spiritual traditions in his own life and practice\, and on building new systems of education and community learning that will make this rich heritage alive and available to others. \nA hermit by nature and by committed choice\, he balances contemplative solitude with his active work in teaching\, counseling\, and the healing arts.  David can be reached at david@merlinccc.org or via his personal website. \n\n  \nMake a Donation Here\nOur philosophy activities are FREE to the community.  While donations are never expected\, they are always appreciated and help to keep programs like these going.
