Rationality Is… The Essence of Literary Theory

Our next monthly meeting will be held on Friday, June 10th, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm. We will be discussing excerpts from the soon to be published book “Rationality Is… The Essence of Literary Theory” by our very own Norm Klassen.

We will be meeting at Newman House (329 Gordon Street, Guelph, parking off of Dean Avenue) with a BBQ to follow (meat, veggie and fish burgers on the menu).

The following is taken from the Preface to the book:
I believe that many people, upon first encountering it, understand well enough theory’s critique and are justifiably uncomfortable with its implications. I suspect many come to interpret their misgivings as their own confusion or misunderstanding. This book encourages their acceptance of the substance of mainstream theory’s critique, but not its abandonment of rationality in the Western tradition.

It will be hybrid meeting. If you are joining us in person, please note that masks are optional when not distancing in doors during the meeting.
