Welcome Message -- Philosophy at OLLI Goes to the Movies

Hello to all!  We will begin our Fall 2015 view of movies through a philosophical lens this upcoming Friday, September 11.

You can learn other details at the OLLI registration site -- uky.augusoft.net

Also this week, I will be building web info specific to group matters here at this page at reasonockhammencken.blogspot.com

The above-linked page has a lot of info and links from our group in the Spring, but I will be adding new stuff, over this long weekend, I hope.

Although the group will select most of the watchlist, I want to prime the pump with "Amadeus."  We will watch at least half of it this Friday.

If you want to get rolling, you may want to look at the "Amadeus" pages at IMDb.com, rottentomatoes.com, and Wikipedia.org

You might also explore philosophical ideas such as Music, Genius, and Art at some of your favorite places (I like the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy at plato.stanford.edu or Google or one of our public libraries).

Best philosophical regards
Jim Carigan
