Presentation update!

Just to confirm to everyone in case they don't already know, that our presentation is now confirmed for 12:00 on Thursday 11/12. After discussions via e-mail and in person with all members of the group, it seems to have been agreed that Katarina will focus on an introduction for the issue of idleness as a possible topic of philosophic interpretation, Emma and Helen will put forward arguments for and against the notion that idleness is a virtue and I will then put forward the theory that idleness can indeed be considered a virtue but we should at all times be mindful and open to its repercussions and implications. If Andres, in presenting his views on idleness which I have found most useful so far, could then try to draw some kind of conclusion on the issue then I believe we will have arrived at some kind of collective presentation with a certain amount of purpose and insight. If I am mistaken in these arrangements then please feel to let me know and we can rearrange the division of labour within the group accordingly.

Thanks, Oliver.
