This is a two week workshop that is designed to offer, through the use of visual aids and open discussion, a clear, accessible new understanding of current environmental issues through the historical perspective of an often misunderstood thinker. Our investigation will show the hidden roots of ecological thinking that date from the dawn of Western thought.
The first workshop of the series is titled Dialectical Naturalism on July 21st from 6pm until 8pm and the second workshop of the series is titled Dead Matter's Domination on Wednesday July 28th from 6 pm until 8 pm. Both workshops will be held at the Bloor Gladstone Library.
