Philosophy Tuesday: Beckett's Waiting for Godot - May 12th

The folks at ##philosophy would like to invite you all on our first Philosophy Tuesday, hoping to set up a trend of constructive discussions aiming to enlighten the world of philosophy in a more informal manner.

We've decided to kick it off with Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, a staple of the literary cannon, which we hope will offer us provocative views and much food for thought.

The first part of the first act of the film can be watched on YouTube here.
We will post the remaining acts during the presentation and will be posting them in real-time the channel. You can find them yourself in the Related Videos section in the YouTube link.

We hope you will all us join on Freenode's ##philosophy channel on Tuesday, May 12th at ___PM EST.
