Three sessions remain in The Other Night School, a program sponsored by the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.

A discussion about “Rethinking the Body,” was held at the University of West Georgia’s Main Lecture Hall on Tuesday evening as part of the The Other Night School for Spring 2017.

Chamber President and CEO Candace Boothby said the series coincides with the chamber’s initiative, “Prosperity’s Front Door,” which stresses the importance of quality of life and education in the community.

“The quality of the content is a great asset to the community, and this is a great way to strengthen our partnership with the community and the university,” Boothby said.

Yesterday’s discussion was led by Garner and Donohoe, who discussed the ancient Greek roots of the prevalent belief that people are all distinct from their bodies and the contemporary phenomenological attempts to show that human bodies are deeply integral to how individuals experience the world.

“This is a very positive, new program,” said 2017 Chamber Chairman John Hall. “Attendees have raved about it.  We’ve had very positive response.”

Past discussions included “The Curious History of Classical Music” and “The Curious Use of Classical Music in American Cinema.”

Future discussions include:

• “Rethinking Work” - Tuesday, Feb. 28, which will discuss the purpose of work and how to enjoy work.

• “Truth and Lies in Photography” -Tuesday, April 11, which will investigate the technology of photography.

• “Art and Propaganda” - Tuesday, April 18, which will focus on the revolutionary era of the Enlightenment. and the impact of politics on art.

All sessions are held at 6 p.m. at the UWG Newnan Main Lecture Hall, 80 Jackson St.  

The discussions are free and open to the public. No registration is required. Complimentary wine and beer are provided.
