Free Onsite Community Seminar
Story Saves the Day:
When Demonstration and Logic Fail,
Story Heaves Up the Truth
Friday, October 27, 2023
As part of the 2023 Ojai Storytelling Festival, October 26-29 at the Libbey Bowl and the Ojai Art Center, join the Agora Foundation for this free community seminar on the power of story. Why do some of philosophy’s greatest thinkers rely on storytelling when they are striving to convey difficult principles? Beyond emotion, what can story convey that demonstration leaves anemic?
The October 27 reading is:
Short selections from Plato, Aristotle, Chuang Tzu, Nietzsche, Kafka, and Mary Oliver
Schedule:
2:00 – 3:30PM PDT
Tutor:
Andy Gilman
Location:
113 South Montgomery Street in Ojai,California
