    "A Few Days In Athens" Zoom Book Club Meeting #2: Chapter Two (Feb 6 - 8:00 PM EST)

    This will be the second session on "A Few Days In Athens," and we will talk about Chapter Two.

    The rough agenda for our one hour session is:

    1 - Twenty Minute or so overview of Frances Wright, the Introduction, and Chapter Two by led Cassius and any other volunteer regular forum participants who have read the whole book.

    "A Few Days In Athens" Zoom Book Club Meeting #2: Chapter Two (Feb 6 - 8:00 PM EST)

    This will be the second session on "A Few Days In Athens," and we will talk about Chapter Two.

    The rough agenda for our one hour session is:

    1 - Twenty Minute or so overview of Frances Wright, the Introduction, and Chapter Two by led Cassius and any other volunteer regular forum participants who have read the whole book.

    2 - Brief introduction of everyone on the call. (We will go around the zoom list and ask everyone to say their first names (real or otherwise) and tell us about their background and interest in Epicurus. For example: "My name is Joshua, I am from (country), and I have been interested in Epicurus ever since _______________. I have read (describe how many books on Epicurus you have read) and I have / have not read the entire "A Few Days In Athens."

    3 - After we do the introductions, we will then open the floor for open discussion of Chapter Two from all participants. Depending on how many people we have we will probably use the "raise your hand" method of going around the table with Cassius or other moderator calling on people to keep the conversation organized. We will monitor the text chat also and people can use that to indicate that they want to speak, and what about.

    Note: The use of video is strictly optional. We anticipate many of our friends will choose to use audio only.

    Outline of Events in Chapter Two:

    Chapter 2 Summary – Epicurus introduces Theon to the Garden

    1. Epicurus introduces Theon to his students and asks them to welcome him, but Epicurus advises them to use their own eyes and ears and not trust his endorsement.
    2. Introduction of Leontium, female friend and student of Epicurus.
    3. Leontium states that she has been studying Theophrastus (successor to Aristotle) and found him to be arrogant.
    4. Leontium states that she and Metrodorus have been debating the question “Whether the vicious were more justly objects of indignation or of contempt.”
    5. Epicurus gives his opinion – “neither” – and states that Time is the teacher of this verdict.
    6. Epicurus and Metrodorus discuss Metrodorus’ past vices and present redemption from them.
    7. Theon recounts that Timocrates had denounced Epicurus at the Stoic assembly.
    8. Theon states that Zeno must fail to understand Epicurus’ doctrine – Epicurus corrects Theon on this point.
