The Writing Group at Brooklyn Art Haus
Tue, Oct 20, 10:00 PMThe Writing Group returns to Brooklyn Art Haus. Join us! Craft is in session. **Itinerary** Our social hour starts at **6 o'clock**, and you can come and meet other writers, get a drink, socialize and hang out as you like until 7 when we will start readings. At **7 o'clock** we formally get together as a group to listen to readings from those looking for feedback. * We do not select readers based on order of arrival or a sign-up sheet, so if you have work until late but still want to come and read, you can! * Each reader gets five (5) minutes to read, so please select a section of work which is appropriate for that time limit. * We welcome narrative prose (fiction and non-fiction), poetry, and scripts (be they for screen or stage), so long as it is writing that you're serious about. * We'll then spend another five (5) minutes in discussion. This is time for the listeners to provide feedback on the reading and discussing the craft in general. We welcome (and encourage) constructive criticism, so long as it is done with respect. This is just as important as the reading, and is done as an open conversation not lead by the reader or the host, so no hand raising required! * We try to get to as many people who want to read as we can, so if there are a lot of attendees we will be very strict on time. * We take a short break at **8 o'clock** . At **9 o'clock** we finish readings, but you are welcome to stick around! Meet new friends, connect with old ones, exchange longer works for review, or just let loose.

Articulating Reasons by Robert Brandom Week 4
Sat, Oct 24, 2:00 PMCan you know what a word means without knowing what it refers to? Articulating Reasons is an introduction to Inferentialism, a view in philosophy of language holding that words get their meaning not from what they point to in the world, but from the role they play in reasoning, i.e. what follows from a claim, and what it commits you to. Championed by Robert Brandom and others as an alternative to the traditional referential view, inferentialism offers a genuinely different picture of how language works. We'll draw out connections to logic, epistemology, and metaphysics along the way, exploring the broader consequences of taking inference, rather than reference, as fundamental. Participants should read the entire reading before attending this in person meeting. We will read pages 157-210 for the last week. I will be reading from this version [here](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0674006925/?bestFormat=true&k=articulating%20reasons&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-v2_k0_1_19_de&crid=2DUBJ8LYFZ6RG&sprefix=articulating%20reason). For questions please send me a message or post to meetup. Best, Brian
