Come join us today for philosophy club! Lubbers classroom 122 from 5-6pm. See you there!

Please join us in welcoming philosophy visiting assistant professor candidate, Justin Mooney. His presentation is entitled, “Becoming A Statue” and we hope you will join us for this engaging presentation this Monday, April 11th at 5pm in Martha Miller 159. See you there!

Flashback Friday! A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to host Dr. Ian Church of Hillsdale College as he presented on "Experimental Philosophy and the Problem of Evil". Church, who is the director of the new Arete Research Center, discussed his research on experimental philosophy and the burning fawn thought experiment. Thank you to all who joined us for this exciting talk!

Today the philosophy department will host Mr. Griffin Klemick who is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Toronto. His talk is titled “Perceptual Justification and the Demands of Effective Agency." About it, he notes: Wilfrid Sellars once said: "It is reasonable to accept [that our perceptual] judgments are likely to be true, simply on the ground that unless they are likely to be true, the concept of effective agency has no application." This talk will explore whether Sellars is correct. Please consider joining us for this presentation this Wednesday, March 30th at 5pm in the Schaap Science Center 1019.

All are invited to a research presentation hosted by the philosophy department and presented by Daniel Rubio, who is a philosophy VAP candidate. Rubio’s presentation is entitled “‘All Things Considered’ Reconsidered”. The talk will take place on Monday, March 28 in the Scaap Science Center Auditorium at 5pm. Join us!

We are so excited to invite you to attend Dr. Ian Church’s talk on Experimental Philosophy and the Problem of Evil. Dr. Church comes to us from Hillsdale College where he is the director of the newly minted director of the Arete Research Center for Philosophy, Science, and Society. Come join us for his talk this Thursday at 5pm in the Martha Miller Center’s Fried-Hemenway Auditorium. This will be held instead of philosophy club this week.
