Today, we’re reading Pick a Color, by Etgar Keret, in class.
The next two weeks will differ a bit from the loose outline of them in the syllabus, because they’re being updated to respond to your interests and things that we still need to talk about in the course.
For Monday 11/3, please read “What to do” in Think, and also please read:
Excerpts from The Enchiridion, by Epictetus
Excerpts from the Ethics, by Benedict de Spinoza
Excerpts from Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl
We’ll be thinking about choice, emotion, and how to live.
