Philosophy Night @ Greenlight Bookstore (3/21)

Next Monday (March 21, 2011), I’ll be hosting the latest installment in the “Author/Blogger” events I’ve been coordinating for Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and we’ve put together a great philosophical discussion for the evening. James Miller is the author of Examined Lives: From Socrates to Nietzsche, which collects a dozen mini-biographies showing how great philosophers have struggled to reconcile their notions about the right way to live with their life circumstances. After a brief interview, he’ll be interviewed by Andrew Shaffer, a blogger for the Huffington Post and the author of Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love, which has three times as many historical examples upon which to draw. And then we’ll have time for your questions…

Greenlight Bookstore is located at 686 Fulton Street, very close to the C and G subway stops and within walking distance of all the trains that stop at Atlantic and Pacific Avenues. This (free!) event will start at 7:30 p.m., and should last about an hour or so. You don’t need to RSVP, but if you happen to be on Facebook, you could check in; it’s always helpful to have even a rough head count for these sorts of things.
