Morning Meeting
The funny thing about today is that we were all dressed up, me as the Trivium and others as Sister Miriam Joseph, we had a few greeks and a Gene Kelly amongst others.
Greek
The Trivium Dialogue
We started the dialogue off with the left foot. As we continued many seemed very lost and off track, I felt that I acquiered a lot of understanding of my own, due to that the last time they discussed the trivium I was not present. But still, we had a question that we tried to answer along the whole dialogue and until the end could come to a conclusion. I think the fact that not everybody had finished the text we couldn't proceed by quoting other chapters. This is very sad that people commit to do something and when the day comes very few people have finished the book and can be part of the dialogue. I hope this changes along the year.
Debrief
The Philosophy of Capitalism
The conference started off by defining what is capitalism being an economical system based on private property and liberty. He then made a distinction between many philosophers such as Kant and Ayn Rand which basically said the same exact things and fought for them. It was very interesting and when the time was up we stayed a bit longer asking question and just curious about libertarian ideas proposed by this thinkers.
