Questioners of the World Unite!

Do you have any lingering, unanswered questions from a class, or from a conversation with a friend, that you would like to explore with others in a non-threatening environment?

Then Philosophy Club might just be for you.

Recently, we've been pondering these issues:

Ever wonder what was so enlightening about the Enlightenment? Or what was so disenchanting? Why is the Enlightenment such a big deal for Christian faith? Or is it, really?

Sound like your kind of 'phun'?

Then check out the Philosophy Club!

It is a friendly meeting place for the preternaturally curious.

We meet every Monday at 10 AM in the Curriculum Center of the library.

For more info, just show up or contact Whitney Stafford at her Trinity address or contact any of the philosophy professors.

Philosophy Film Night! Wednesday, 25 October

Join the philosophy department for pizza and a movie next Wednesday night, 25 October. Let go of the stress of midterms and watch with us Wim Wenders's existential classic, "Wings of Desire".

There are angels in the streets of Berlin, Germany, listening in on the thoughts and following the lives of people, young and old, as they go through their daily routine. They are there for every tear, every smile, for moments of desperation and moments of exhileration. They eavesdrop on human existence.


But what if an angel could lose his wings and become a human? Could experience love and pain, fear and joy, just like the rest of us? The angel Damiel might just get his wish.

A visually stunning film, "Wings of Desire" is a thought-provoking meditation on what it means to be human. We will watch the film and afterwards explore its meaning and message.

It all begins at Prof. George Pierson's home at 6:30 PM, Wednesday, 25 October. We will arrange transportation. Food and drinks are compliments of the Philosophy Department!

Anyone with an interest in philosophy or this film is welcome to join us. Yes, we do mean ANYONE.

Please contact Prof. Stephen Lake (x4518) or e-mail him at his Trinity address to let us know if you intend to come. Details about transportation will be available here and on Trollview next week.
