The Useless Life of the Mind III

Join us for an exploration of the uses and abuses of the life of the mind, guided by Prof. Zena Hitz’s recent book, Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of the Intellectual Life. We will examine questions such as: How do leisure and learning contribute to our happiness? What is the Aristotelian virtue of seriousness? How can an intellectual life make for a just society?
