Upcoming Events Dinner Discussion with: Professor Eric Gregory Professor of Religion Tuesday, September 28 @ 5:45 PM Are Moral Dilemmas
Bad for You? Torture and Trolley Problems All members in Campus
Club Library. RSVP required -- seats are limited! Reading: Paideia, n. "Ancient Greek Hist.
Education, upbringing; spec. an Athenian system of instruction designed to
give pupils a rounded cultural education, esp. with a view to public life. Hence:
the sum of physical and intellectual achievement to which an individual or
(collectively) a society can aspire; a society's culture." -( Paideia is a group
of several hundred students from all classes and academic backgrounds who
come together to promote the exchange of ideas outside of the classroom. Our
aim is to foster intellectual curiousity and interdisciplinary interaction
and discussion at Princeton University. By bringing a variety of Professors
in a large number of fields to lead an academic dinner discussion every week,
we hope to give students an opportunity for intellectual stimulation in
either something they find very interesting or something that they would
never otherwise be exposed to. This also conveniently lets students meet new
professors, who may end up being very helpful in other aspects of their life.
Paideia is everyone's favorite precept - all the fun and interest of an
academic discussion, without the stresses and responsibilities of grades or
homework. Because of the camaraderie
among students and their previous preparation, our members look forward to
cross-table debates in which the professor is a full-fledged participant,
providing depth and expertise, and also encouraging others to join in. We
have found that this format has produced many memorable and thought-provoking
evenings. We look forward to having you
at our next dinner! |
