July 11th: "Famine, Affluence, & Morality" Reading Group with POPCO at 6PM
-
Registration is required for this event. We will be discussing Peter Singer's "Famine, Affluence, and Morality". Some things about our world remain the same today as when Singer wrote this classic 1972 essay -- most notably, many people in the US live in luxury and amid plenty while people in other parts of the world live with far fewer resources. What, if anything, do the affluent owe to the poor? What difference does it make if we are separated by thousands of miles and/or geopolitical borders? These sessions are participant-driven discussions focused on philosophical essays, facilitated by a trained CU Boulder philosopher. Our goal at each discussion is to build a philosophical dialogue by investigating as a community of thinkers. Each session focuses on a philosophical text, but we do not regard the authors we read as unquestionable authorities. Rather, we consider each author to be another voice in our shared dialogue. To prepare, please read the selected text to the best of your ability. Most months you'll find a reading guide linked above. If you are unable to read ahead, please come anyway. We recommend bring a copy of the reading with you - digital or printed out. At the discussion, after brief introductions and a review of the discussion policies, the facilitator will ask participants to share questions and ideas for group discussion. The facilitator will then guide the group in working through as many of their questions as possible before recapping and wrapping up the discussion. No background in philosophy is expected or required. We are excited to discuss the ideas raised by your interaction with the text!
