In this installment of "How Did We Get Here?" with philosopher Ed Glowienka we'll consider something we all want, but can't agree on how to get: freedom. We'll explore the shift between classical and Enlightenment notions of political freedom and look at how reactions to this shift inform modern conservative and liberal values. Along the way, we'll do a bunch of other stuff, too, and hopefully gain a deeper appreciation of why we value freedom and of the philosophical positions underlying contemporary debates.

In this short reads session, we’ll begin with a general look at Epictetus’ statement "what's up to us?", and then step back to consider why this might be an accurate account of human life. Along the way, we'll consider some reflections on how this might shape our participation in the civic life of our communities. Learn more & RSVP here.
