- Welcome and news / requests for new topics. We’ll continue to deal with individual topics as they occur. Just message me and we will set up an agenda each week that allows for new topics.
- Please help us stay on topic. Don’t be afraid to comment or ask questions about the implication of any section we are covering, but please remember that there are controversies outside the scope of our project that we don’t have time to cover.
- Every session let’s try to cover questions like:
- What is the context of this section?
- Why included at this point in the presentation?
- What are the major points Lucretius is making?
- What are the implications of these points?
- Notes on New Topics / Announcements:
. This week we will continue with Lucretius Book 1:346. with the Void And Its Implications
- Discussion
- After line 398 we moved to discussion - how did all this come about?
- Of course absent intelligent design.
- And not necessarily by attacking intelligent design, but positively describing what actually does happen.
- Robert - Options are (1) idealist explanation (intelligence) (2) materialist explanation (processes, with intelligence as emergence)
- Martin - For every detail we find a materialist explanation.
- Karim - question of possibilities - this is our experience.
- Universe discussion.
- Next week line 418 and again relate to Jefferson.
