First Lecture as a group. (Blog #1)

Deviant Philosophy.
Group Topic – “Paid Work is Voluntary Servitude”
First Lecture as a Group:

The presentation group consists of four members; Aleksy Budaj, Blair Cumming, Nicholas Danvers and myself (David Kynaston). By short listing the topics we most favoured from the list of five we randomly selected the topic of “Paid Work is Voluntary Servitude”.
We have decided to go away and over the next week try to find some books which we can use to guide our discussion and shape some form of an argument for the presentation. Some of the ideas suggested so far include ‘Heavy Weather’ by P.G. Wodehouse and Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk; the latter of which I think will be mostly irrelevant as it focuses mainly on materialism.
We have also agreed on the basic structure of the presentation which will be formed much like an essay; beginning with an introduction, then two opposing/contrasting views towards the topic and then finally a conclusion. To make the argument as convincing as possible at least one source or citation will be used at each of the four stages of the presentation.
