Philosophy Discussion Group
Bradley Owen
This new discussion group will focus initially on the Cartesian Meditations at a pace mutually agreed upon by the participants and move onto other works as desired and selected by the group. Athenaeum member Bradley Owen, a retired professor of philosophy, serves as the facilitator of this group.
Click on the "download details" on the left for a PDF of the Meditations. Read the First Meditation for the February 20th session and consider the following questions:
1) What is Descartes' motivation in the Meditations?
2) What is the relationship between truth, doubt and certainty?
3) What role does imagination play?
