Hi there!
Who said a degree in Philosophy wasn’t good for anything? :^)
I teach Philosophy at one of the University of Wisconsin Campuses and a colleague over in History and I were thinking about a course to be called something like “The Spirit(s) of America”… that would use whiskey as the focus for the history and political philosophy of the US (eg. I usually use the rules of drinking from Greek symposia to explain arete)… anyway, you get the idea.
So I’ve been rooting around for a text I could use. Probably a 200 or 300 level class.
Any suggestions?
Love the blog and thanks!
Best,
Mark
