Reading & Discussion Series: Exploring the Republic

Reeder's Alley Interpretive & Convention Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, MT, United States

Why is it worthwhile to act justly, even if we could “get away” with injustice?  Doesn’t the successful thief or tyrant have a life that’s attractive and enviable? How does the kind of society that we live in shape our character, values, and attitudes as individuals?  Is it even possible to be a healthy person, in a society that’s profoundingly sick and unbalanced? Over the winter and early spring, we’ll be exploring these and other main themes from Plato’s Republic.  For 5 every-other-Wednesday sessions, we’ll balance our time and attention between close reading of Plato’s text, and considering the implications of Plato’s arguments for our own lives and times.

How Did We Get Here?: Democracy

Reeder's Alley Interpretive & Convention Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, MT, United States

Is democracy new or old? Does it deserve the reverence that modern Western society has ascribed to it? In this evening's program, we'll look at the evolution of the modern concept of democracy, including how different groups approached practical matters. We'll trace their solutions to the present day & see how those solutions continue to shape the discourse of the modern world. We'll also reflect on current challenges to "democracy" and how members of the community can put theory into practice to keep democracy healthy. Learn more & RSVP here!
