It was really cool to see a packed house for our very first #philosophy and #literature event yesterday afternoon (had to add chairs!), with Robert Pippin providing an excellent lecture on our search for meaning in the arts, with a focus on film. Nigel Hatton, who organized the event, will be part of the new philosophy department at #UCMerced if that gets approved, and will be organizing more events on #LiteratureAndPhilosophy going forward.
