Hi Everyone, I thought I'd provide you with a general outline of what we accomplished on Tuesday.
1. We began with a discussion of MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail. We discussed his four part method of non violent protest. 1. Examine the situation to see what injustice exists (We discussed that this requires a belief in justice and that we have the capacity to determine it). 2. Negotiate. 3 Self-purify 4. direct action.
2. We then discussed how I applied these principles to address the gender inequities that exist in the discipline of philosophy and ended up with the decision to teach Sappho.
3. We discussed strengths of Sappho and what qualities she had in come with Homer and Hesiod.
4. We ended class with a discussion of what Homer and Hesiod and Sappho lack that keeps them from being "fully philosophical" in our minds.
Here's the link to MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail.
