I have a couple of sides of notes I took at the first two meetings, purely for my own use. I would not claim they are accurate summaries -- but if anyone would like to see them they are welcome. Add to them and post them back?
meeting 1 -- Marx
meeting 2 -- Durkheim
Incidentally, talking about Durkheim stirred some old memories and I went back and had a look at his Moral Education. It is good stuff on two grounds: (1) it summarise all the main themes in his work in the form of really clear, non-scholastic and useful lectures; (2) it has some strong arguments for the connections between individualism and social morality, discipline and constraint that should serve as an excellent antidote to students who only know dreamers like Rousseau (who is rebuked on p. 2).
