I've decided to go back to school. Harvard actually.
Okay, so, not literally, and not physically.
Rather, just for one course, and virtually. I found an article in the New York Times tonight about a famous course at Harvard University called "Justice: A Journey in Moral Reasoning" that is being broadcast on television. In the 12 week course, Professor Michael J. Sandel talks philosophy and current events with his undergraduate students in a highly interactive format. Apparently, his course is something of an institution at Harvard, so I decided to check it out and see if it would be interesting to follow.
Indeed, I think it is. Over the course of the semester, his classes will be broadcast (previously recorded) one week at a time. You can find the episodes online at justiceharvard.org.
Another example of a good use of retired time. More on the idea of learning new things later!
