New Philosophy Elective Offered @ MGRHS

If you're reading this, chances are that you know I teach at the above-referenced high school. I've been running a lunchtime philosophical discussion group, open to any and all students interested. We sit around for a half hour every Monday and ponder the imponderable, address the curious and confounding issues of modern society, try to prove that the universe exists, and such fun things. Now, thanks to a grant from the Squire Family Foundation and logistical support from MG administration, Williams College, and the Philosophy Department at MCLA, I'll be teaching a 1-semester Intro to Philosophy elective in Spring '10 at MG. It's very gratifying personally, and I'm quite pleased that so many students have evinced a great deal of excitement about taking the class. An official announcement/press release will likely come out in the local press towards the beginning of April, but I couldn't wait to crow a bit in advance. :-)
