Today is the start of summer quarter here at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It is the last quarter that I need for my undergraduate degree.
Coming into my final quarter, I didn’t have a whole lot of requirements on the classes that I had to take. I wanted to take classes that were fun yet challenging. I talked with Professor Sean Sutton. He offered to do an independent study with me.
The idea is that we would go through Plato’s Republic. We would do one book each week, meet for coffee to discuss it, and I would write up a 2-3 page commentary on each book. We are using the translation by Allan Bloom, The Republic of Plato.
I want to use this blog as a way to flesh out my ideas. I will post my notes and also the two to three page commentaries.
I welcome anyone who would like to comment on my posts. It would be great if we could get a real discussion going.
For my thoughts on every other aspect of my life, check out my main blog Confessions of an Undercover Geek.
