Hardcore Philosophy for Actual Babies: Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O
Geoff Klock at Berg'n
Sun, Sep 18 at 3 p.m. | 90 minutes
Are you a very smart Brooklyn parent who would like some intellectual stimulation that you can justify with reference to parenting or something? Or just a smart person who is willing to be convinced of the philosophical value of books for tiny children? Join me for this 90 minute Olio where I look at children’s books with reference to Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, and Harold Bloom’s Poetics of Influence.
**Note: Kids are welcome to attend the class for free with their parent and food and drinks from Berg'n vendors are welcomed to be brought in during class.

What is Think Olio?
Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.
Classically, the liberal arts, were the education considered essential for a free person to take an active part in civic life. To counter a humanities that has been institutionalized and dehumanized we infuse critical thinking, openness, playfulness, and compassion into our learning experience.
