I'll do Plato. I hated reading him in college, it'll be good for me to see if I see him differently now.

Thank you Jessica, that is a really great idea! Let me know which one you're covering, and I'll do the other two, unless we have more volunteers?

Can we do like the SF philosophy club does, and have different folks commit to reading (and summarizing for others) each author, so we can have common ground even if everyone doesn't read everything before the meeting?
