It’s been a little quiet here. I spent the last three weeks at the Purdue Summer Seminar on Knowing in Religion and Morality. It was AWESOME. Met a lot of outstanding philosophers. Had great conversations. Got a lot of great work done.
There need to be more philosophy summer camps. I’m going to work on that. I’m currently looking into trying to set one up at SUNY Fredonia’s college lodge.
Right now I’m thinking of a 10 day philosophers’ seminar/writer’s retreat. We would have discussions/presentations in the morning. We would break and everyone would go write during the afternoon. We’ll see if I can make it happen.
There’s something like this for younger kids at my Alma Mater, St. John’s College: http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/outreach/SF/SC/classics.shtml
Put me on the short list, please.
Such a good idea. I was thinking about trying to set one up. Rent a cabin or cabins and get folks together for intensive writing, presenting, etc… Really wished I could have been in Purdue for the camp, but I missed the age cutoff by 6 months. Interested in hearing what you worked on while you were there.
Great idea! The Purdue seminar was really amazing. I concur that more such things should exist.
My wife wants to know how soon she can sign me up!
I agree that Purdue was great and that we should have more of these. I thought that South Dakota might be a good place to do one as we could take advantage of the many cool outdoorsy things to do.
