The Kendal Education Committee announced that on Tuesdays, March 5, 12, 19 and 26, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Prof. Yoel Magid will lead a new course, “The Limits of Rationality: Utopian and Dystopian Literature through the Ages.”
The class will look at dreams and rational thoughts of a better world, and through the looking glass at nightmares and insanities of these dreams going from bad to worse in the imaginations of great thinkers and writers.
Short selected readings will be provided for each session. No homework.
Dr. Magid taught the “Democracy in Disarray” course at Kendal last year.
Sign-up sheets were in your cubby last week.
