mind young?”

approach these questions and where do they intersect? What lessons can they teach
us about how to live a meaningful life and how to find peace, joy, and contentment
through our intimate relationship with the universe? Join Dr. Bartholomew and Dr.

Discussions On Aging
Karen Sieben, PhD, philosophy instructor
When it comes to living the senior years of our lives contentedly and well, psychological
studies show the prevailing factor in doing so is wisdom. Philosophers have studied
wisdom since the time of Socrates. So it makes sense that the study of wisdom, what it is
and how to acquire it, is a good place to explore ways and means of living a life wisely.
Many thinkers offer suggestions for the good life, doing so with humor and providing good
answers to seemingly difficult life problems. But some go deeper. What they provide is a
reason to live, and without that we miss the main ingredient in making the last part of
our lives, the best part. Our discussions will focus on getting the most out of life and the
discoveries of meaningful existence. Section 1 will examine the book Travels with Epicurus
by Daniel Klein. Section 2 will focus on Trying Not To Try by Edward Slingerland. Both
books were published in 2014 and readily available in paperback. Please bring a copy to

What Gulliver’s Travels
Tells Us Today
Dr. Carl Calendar, former
Humanities Dean, Brookdale
First published in 1726, anonymously
to avoid prosecution, Jonathan Swift’s
Gulliver’s Travels’s biting satire is as
relevant to today’s world as it was when
it was written. Swift’s Lilliputians and
Brobdinggnagians satirize human vanity,
wars of religion, and the idiocy of human
prejudices. His scientific floating island
Laputa makes fun of science, and his world
of rational horses, Houyhnhnms, shows
how little humans use their rationality.
Dr. Calendar will speak on the main issues
satirized by Swift: the foolishness of greed,
the proliferation of weapons of destruction,
the idiocy of tribal hatred that lead to war
and how rational humans often behave
LITERATURE/WRITING irrationally. There is a lot to ponder in
Swift’s message, also a lot to laugh about.
