This September, the Coffee with the Classics seminar will join students together with faculty facilitators in community to explore questions raised by the unprecedented levels of conflict and animosity in the current election season through sifting salient, classical responses to them. We will consider brief selections from the great conversation of Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Marx, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Winthrop, and Quinas, none of whom were of one mind, and discuss them over dinner freely, uncompelled by requirements or grades, for our own sakes and, perhaps, for the sake of the polis. 

Students will receive all dinners free of charge during this four-part weekly dinner series. Space is limited. RSVP to Elizabeth Feeney:elife@sas.upenn.edu
