Please note there will be a new 8 week course in philosophy, led by Emeritus Professor Max Deutscher. He explores the idea and importance of wonder within ancient philosophy; then discusses the renaissance of scientific enquiry in the 17thC; then the 19thC Romantic movement, and 20thC writers. It will meet at the E J Ward Community Centre in Paddington on alternate Thursdays from 27 February at 12.00 to 2.00 pm. However, it will need to transfer to the Gaden Centre in Woollahra during April, May and June. Details will be advised by the leader, who can be contacted on maxdeutsch@hotmail.com
Attendees at the Advanced French and French Conversation courses at the E J Ward Centre will also need to meet at the Gaden Centre from April to June, as the Ward Centre will be closed for alterations during that time. Leaders will advise times.
As there can be unexpected changes in the talks listed in the Course Book, please check the monthly calendar shown above. Sudden, unexpected changes will be notified by bulk email to Eastern Region members, and to other regions if time permits.
The Course Book for Semester 1 was sent out to members by post in mid January 2020, and is also available on line at www.sydneyu3a.org
