"A Few Days In Athens" Zoom Book Club Meeting. This week -Chapter Twelve!


The rough agenda for our one hour session is:

1 - Twenty Minute or so overview of Frances Wright, the Introduction, and the current chapter led by Cassius, Joshua, 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 welcome any of our friends who choose to use audio only.
