Phil Intakes: July - September

Hello!

Wow, the end of summer got crazy busy. Some of it was good. Some of it was bad. All of it was life.

Sadly, I didn't find myself reading a lot of philosophy.

Readings:

I didn't read much new philosophy. Mostly, I reviewed works for my classes.

October's review is already looking more substantial.  I promise. 

Audio:

I listened to a ton of audio lectures. The Great Courses series is inexpensive on Audible.com.

In the last couple months, I've listened to lectures on:

Hegel
Mill
The Vedas and Upanishads
Mahavira and Jainism
The Buddha
The Bhagavad Gita
Confucius
Laozi
The Hundred Schools
Mencius and Xunzi
The Pre-Socratics
The Sophists
Plato
Socrates
Aristotle
Stoicism
Epicureanism
Roman Eclecticism
Roman Skepticism
Machiavelli
More
Eramus

That's more than enough for a headache.

Previous Months:
May
June

Lee Dems: Review Status

Howdy.

My busy summer put a beat down on my political activities. I haven't made it to a meeting in months.

Realizing that I couldn't keep up with all the necessary responsibilities, I stepped down as the Precinct Captain for Kingstowne.

I hope that be able to resume meetings for the Lee Dems and the VMFC this fall.

The practice of writing a monthly review, not that I was doing a good job of it, will not be continued.  As most of the activities are repetitive, writing that same thing every month seems pointless. So, I'll only posted unique or new political nonsense.

Stay strong!
