B6 November 2018 • Recreation • www.lwca.com Upcoming Activities Current – December 5 (W) December 7 and 14 (F) Birth of Modern Mind: Intellectual History of the 17th and 18th Centuries 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. Theater Presented by New Frontiers for Lifelong Learning From 1600 to 1800, our ways of thinking essentially turned inside out. Intellectuals led, but as learning expanded, the new thinking became more and more ingrained in the commons. Often this is called the Copernican Revolution, but it is much more than that and its results have affected us more profoundly. This broader revolution of emerging modernity is what this course is about. The course is presented on DVD by Alan Charles Kors, Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania. He is author of several books, both popular and scholarly, mostly on this topic. To register, contact class facilitator Judy Slentz at 480-603-8124 or judithsletz53114@gmail.com.
