What shall we read first?





Hey all, here are the suggestions from our last topics regarding a CE Philosophy Book Club.

We can maybe aim for a book or a selection of essays to do each week, but we'll feel it out as we go

If anyone else would like to join you're more than welcome! We have a topic on the Philosophy board here for discussion and such:

Thank you for the tag, TC.

The last option on the poll is probably the logical place to start, or The Republic, but I definitely do recommend Mere Christianity. View it as a philosophical work, imo.

Philosophy 101 is basically expressed in The Matrix i.e. brain-in-vat theory.

Yeah for sure. I think in any case we can probably work our way through everyone's suggestions - we'll just use this topic as the starting point and then decide together where we go from there

I've never understood why CS Lewis gets such respect.

My connection is pretty shit ATM but should be better from Monday on, so anytime after that is good for me

As far as how to structure it I'm not sure what's best. Maybe chapter by chapter for books or longer essays so we can clarify things as we go, but then shorter works all at once?
