Good morning Philosophy Club!
Our next meeting is Today, Monday 3/21 at 6:30 p.m. in Newcomb 16!! We will be joined by Professor Robert Hartman who will be discussing the topic of moral luck and forgiveness with us!! (Think: if moral outcomes are, at least in part, determined by luck, how much can we blame/praise people for immoral/moral outcomes of their actions?) We're hoping again to have a big turnout as Professor Hartman has been so gracious with his time. See you there!!
