The Deakin Philosophical Society this week will discuss a brief article by Alain de Botton, ‘The Limits of Freedom’. The article is one in a series published in the UK Guardian on the topic of citizen ethics. Wednesday’s meeting will complete our discussion of civil liberties and conceptions of liberty.

I would like to thank Kristian Schutz for introducing the articles last week and for ensuring that a lively discussion ensued.

There will be no meeting on Wednesday, April 7 due to the intra-trimester or Easter break. When we reconvene on April 14 we’ll discuss a piece by Dr Tamas Pataki, who will be speaking on the topic of religion and violence at Deakin’s Waurn Ponds campus on Thursday, April 15.

See you Wednesday,
