Philosophie
We will read two books by the late, great Alan Watts to familiarize ourselves with Eastern Philosophy generally and Zen Buddhism in particular. The course unavoidably and simultaneously will be an introduction to the world of Alan Watts, counterculture guru and celebrated popularizer of Eastern thought in the US. No familiarity with any of the mentioned themes will be assumed.
Dr. Mango Telli
I studied philosophy under Laurence Lampert, and wrote my dissertation, a close reading of Xenophon's _Hiero_, on tyranny.
