The Philosophers' Café: The Examined Life, with Ryan Martin

Anger gets a bad reputation, but it's one of our most important emotions. In this conversation, we'll explore what anger is really trying to tell us, why it so often gets us into trouble, and how to use it as a force for positive change. In this session of The Philosophers' Café, Dr. Ryan Martin, Dean of the College of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities at UWGB, will lead a discussion on practical strategies for responding to anger in ways that improve your decision making and help you use this powerful emotion for good.

The Philosophers' Café brings university students and community members together for rich conversation in an unusual format. Hosted by UWGB Philosophy professor Robert Riordan, each discussion will feature a theme relevant to "The Examined Life." Following from Socrates' famous dictum, "the unexamined life is not worth living," what does it mean to live an examined life? These discussions are free and open to the public, giving community members a chance to participate in one of the features of an ongoing philosophy course. For students, the Philosophers' Café provides an opportunity to discuss ideas beyond the artificial boundaries of the university classroom.

These conversations will not be recorded or offered virtually. Join us for great discussions, face to face! Light snacks will be provided.
