Tuesdays with Morrie



How important is it to analyze the world around us, assessing the very nature of the world and our place in it? Morrie Schwartz would have explained that this might be the second best act that one could do. The greatest act would be to give and receive love. Perhaps these are simple sentiments, perhaps they are only exercises in philosophical rhetoric, perhaps they may even be unattainable or lofty goals, but this analysis is the very thing that Tuesdays with Morrie, a memoir of sorts by Mitch Albom, begs the reader to do. In the next week and a half we will be spending some time in class discussing this topic as well as the several other topics that are inextricably joined to it.
