About the Event
Join Clifford Louie, who has been managing and leading book discussion groups at the Anza and the Richmond public libraries for over 12 years. He will introduce and lead discussions at the Clarion on "short" non-fictional and fictional readings of all sorts of topics. By "short," he means readings that are essays, short stories, and excerpts from books about 5-40 pages long.
For this session, "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor" by Garrett Hardin will be discussed. The link to the essay is Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor (colorado.edu)
The premise is, if you have a lifeboat that has 50 people, its capacity is 60, and 100 people are swimming in the ocean, how do you choose 10 people from the 100?
The essay should yield a spirited discussion!
