> > "On Tuesday, 7th May, Professor Brian O'Connor, University College, Dublin, > and Visiting Fellow, Wolfson College, will be giving a talk entitled: > > 'The Philosophers against Idleness' > > During the age of Enlightenment new types of criticisms of idleness began to > appear. Philosophers opposed idleness not on the traditional ground that it > would require others to work. Rather it prevented each of us from realizing > our talents and skills. Idlers were supposedly akin to 'savages' and > 'barbarians'. This talk looks at some of the strange and biased arguments > against idleness found among these philosophers. > > The talk starts at 6:00 in the Gatsby Room, Chancellor's Centre, Wolfson > College. It is part of the lecture series organised by the Humanities > Society, Wolfson College. Refreshments will be served from 5:45 and all are > welcome."
