READING GROUP:

PCPN is excited to continue our summer/fall session — Critical Theory: Politics and the Frankfurt School — tomorrow (11/07) with a discussion of Habermas.

Reading:

• 11/07: Jürgen Habermas, The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity (Excerpts)

Pdfs of the readings can be found: HERE

Time: 8:00pm-10:00pm
Location: Bloomfield Crazy Mocha (4525 Liberty Ave)

As a reminder, even though we have moved to thematic groups, there is no expectation that people participate in every week, so even if you can’t commit to the whole section, you are still more than welcome to join us when you can.

(since we tend to close-read, please bring a copy of the text to the group)

OTHER EVENTS THIS WEEK:
