Philosophers Fireside Café: What meaning in manmade material? November 16, 2007

What meaning in manmade material?
In our glorification of nature and the ephemeral, we may downplay material as perhaps (un)necessary evil, to be used, abused and disposed of. What meanings can objects have, beyond idolatry or status symbols? Guest Bennett Mitten is a furniture restorer and social science observer.

Everyone welcome. Pre-registration is not required. Admission $5.
