Ashley, Jennifer, and Shira, here's my suggestion.
If you're all reading Russell's Conquest of Happiness, plan on posting your thoughts on that (and on one another's posts) over the next two or three weeks; then select one last text to read and discuss.
For your final project, I suggest the three of you create a conversational dialogue on our blogsite by first posing two or three discussion questions pertaining to each of the texts (Haybron, Russell, ____) and then responding to them (and again, to each other) in an extended comments' thread. Do that over the course of a few days, beginning the last week in April and concluding no later than May 5.
What do you think? Do you have ideas for a third text?*
*FYI, last semester the Happiness class read these texts which you may want to consider:
- More Than Happiness: Buddhist and Stoic Wisdom for a Sceptical Age
- Epicureanism: A Very Short Introduction
- How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer
- Sick Souls, Healthy Minds: How William James Can Save Your Life
I didn't see anyone else comment but I was leaning towards: More Than Happiness: Buddhist and Stoic Wisdom for a Sceptical Age. What does everyone else think?
ReplyDeleteI would be willing to read that.
DeleteI would also be interested in: Sick Souls, Healthy Minds: How William James Can Save Your Life
ReplyDeleteI think you should each read whatever you'd like, for your third text.
