Greetings!

I have moved the December meetup to Tuesday the 29th, although I will check out how crowded Starbucks is on Sunday evenings this weekend!

My name is Gene. I am the Philadelphia Philosophy Meetup Group Organizer. Regarding TOPICS: there are a million of 'em, but I need YOUR help in picking one. It's much better to be discussing what YOU are interested in. Thanks.

We can always discuss the possibilities of changes in meetup time, date, and location at the next meetup. This meetup will be from 7pm to 8:20 (Starbucks closes at 8:30).

This month's topic: TO BE DECIDED.

All levels of philosophical knowledge are invited.

This month's topic: What is your "Philosophy of Living"?

Do you have one? Do you think we need one? Is there something universal that could apply to everyone? What would it be based on?

This month's topic: The Ethics of Memory.

It covers several areas:

* Margalit's "The Ethics of Memory," in which he askes the question, Is it important to remember people's names or just their situations?
* Orwell's "1984," e.g., is it ethical to rewrite history in order to pursue a supposed greater good?
* And current events: How does it affect us if neither we nor the press can remember history?

My apologies for being absent from the March 23 meeting. Was under the weather. If the topic below wasn't gone into or only lightly touched, I'd be interested in starting with that again.

This month's opening topic: I'm thinking about starting off with questons regarding "Paradoxes" like: Do real ones exist? Should we accept them in our lives? Can they be a good thing?
