Upcoming Events

Philosophy Study Group

We will begin a study of a classic – many say the most important – 20th century book on philosophy, Philosophical Investigations by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Originally published posthumously in 1953, it has undergone four editions. Any of these editions is acceptable, but, like usual, the later ones are better. New paperbacks run from about $20 and up, and, unusually, ebooks are more expensive, starting at around $30. However, used copies of the books should be easy to find, and there are copies of the complete book online for free. There are also plenty of commentaries and study guides, which you may find useful. For our first meeting, we will cover §1- §133.

Annual Picnic

This is our annual summer picnic. MISF will provide the drinks, plasticware, and grills, and St. Paul Parks & Rec the electricity and more grills. You provide a dish to share and your best topics for good conversations.
