Dear all,
Greetings! I hope this email finds you and your family in good health.
We are in the middle of finalizing the program for another 24hr.
Transcontinental Meet-‘n-Greet, celebrating the philosophy of Karl
Popper. That
is, as announced last year, we continue the tradition of hosting this event
during the second week-end of January for the foreseeable future. In 2025, it
falls on Saturday, January 11. It will start at 3:00pm GMT (London, UK) on
Saturday and continue until 6pm GMT on Sunday, January 12.
*As you may already know, two important Popper scholars passed away in
2024: David Miller (1935-2024)
<https://philosophy.tabrizu.ac.ir/?lang=en> and Mark Notturno (1953-2024). * We
will be remembering them Sunday, January 12 starting at noon GMT. For the
latest version of the program, click here
<https://ourkarlpopper.net/2025-transcontinental-meet-n-greet/>.
We still have some open time slots (1 or 2 hrs) between 3:30am and noon GMT
on Sunday, January 12. If you would like to use one of these slots to
facilitate a conversation on a specific Popper-related theme, send an email
to ourkarlpopper(a)gmail.com.
We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you all to, if you
have not done so already, join the googlegroup,
ourkarlpopper(a)googlegroups.com. We created this googlegroup in 2020 for
organizational purposes, but we have done little with it so far. There are
tons of things that anyone can do to help with spreading the message of
Karl Popper's philosophy.
We are looking forward to getting your suggestions and feedback.
Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested in
learning more about Karl Popper and his philosophy and/or who would like to
help with the programming and running of the Meet 'n Greets, the
googlegroup or the creation and management of the Popper-type dashboard.
