♦ From Russ Payne: Thursday, October 1, 1:30 to 2:30 in the Faculty Commons. We  covered most of my Introduction to Philosophy text in faculty commons sessions in the Spring. But we didn’t get all the way through and the best is yet to come. We will cover the last four chapters on ethics this quarter starting with “Love and Happiness” (Love & Happiness handout). The Intro to Philosophy sessions will be every other Thursday from 1:30 to 2:30 starting on October 1. No prior experience necessary. Hope you can join us.
