5pm reception, 5:30pm program, followed by book sale & signing

Burriesci’s Dead White Guys: A Father, His Daughter, and the Great Books of the Western World and Searls’s new translation of Nietzsche’s 1872 Anti-Education were both published in 2015. Join us for a discussion of how great humanists and philosophers have considered and challenged the way society “educates” the next generation, and how we can still learn from them today.

Read recently published essays on education by Matt in Guernica and Damion in The Paris Review.

Thanks to the Brown Bookstore for making books available for sale and signing.

Sponsored by Tripp Evans and Ed Cabral.
