Philosophy Foosball Dinner -- POSTPONED


PLEASE NOTE: Philosophy Foosball Club Dinner has been postponed. A Memorial Service has been planned for the late and beloved Dr. Henry Schellenberg and will occur in Winnipeg at Westminster Church, Friday, March 1, 7:30 p.m. A new date for PFC Dinner is to be determined and will be announced soon.

A Night of Quining and Dining
Winter 2013 Philosophy Foosball Dinner will occur at Dr. and Mrs. VDB's place on Friday, March 1st at 6:15 p.m.  After dinner we will enjoy presentations on the philosophy of Willard van Orman Quine (VOQ?).  After some serious philosophical discussion we will play some serious games of skill (foosball on the mini-table and heart-pounding Crokinole) plus we will listen to some serious musical talent (from the one and only Manny Coon and perhaps others who happen to bring along a musical instrument).
For those planning to attend, please RSVP by email to VDB by noon on Wednesday, February 27 at the latest. (If you've already RSVP'd via Facebook, that's sufficient.)  If you need directions, contact VDB.

Hope to see you all there!

VDB

P.S. All students interested in philosophy, whether current Providence students or not, are welcome.

P.P.S. Here is VDB practicing for Crokinole rematch with Rob Horsley.

Plantinga!

Sometimes a secret should be exposed, not kept.  Here are some clarifications and criticisms of the new gnosticism found in Rhonda Byrne's The Secret from Mark Earley and John Stackhouse, Jr.  Good food for philosophical thought.
