[Fuusm-l] Today's Issues Readings for Sunday

[Ted Goertzel]

For this Sunday, May 19, the Today’s Issues group will discuss two essays
from the May 9 issue of the New York Review of Books.

Page 37, Kwame Anthony Appiah, “Dialectics of Enlightenment
<https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2019/05/09/irrationality-dialectics-enlightenment/>,”
a review of Irrationality:A History of the Dark Side of Reason by Justin
Smith. It’s a discussion of enlightenment thinkers with reference to
today’s concerns about postmodernism and “alternative facts”.

Page 44, J.H. Elliott, “Spain’s America,” a review of two books about
Hispanic North America, e.g., those areas once owned by Spain but now part
of the US.

The group meets in the parlor of the Religious Education building next to
the Church at 9:30 on Sunday mornings.  Please do the readings and join our
lively discussion.

A copy of the readings is attached.
