A complete photo voltaic eclipse can be happening on April eighth.

What, if something, does this must do with philosophy?
Laura Papish, a thinker at George Washington College, is hoping Each day Nous readers might have some optimistic solutions to that query.
She writes:
I’m questioning when you may contemplate soliciting from people prompt readings to hyperlink up with the upcoming photo voltaic eclipse. My college students can be viewing it, some inside totality zones, and we may have a dialogue later that day about their experiences. I’m taken with any readings which may complement or improve their viewing expertise, and I used to be pondering that different instructors may be equally taken with some crowd-sourced studying ideas.
I’d assume that there’s work within the historical past and philosophy of science on eclipses, but maybe there are philosophical or philosophy-related writings on the feelings, the setting, epistemology, ethics, that means, metaphor, notion, time, and different subjects which have some relevance to eclipses. Possibly there’s some philosophically-suggestive fiction associated to eclipses?
Your ideas welcome.
