Dr. Aaron Meskin will be hosting a Philosophy Cafe at Athentic Brewing Co. The Cafe, held from 6:30-8:00 PM on the second Sunday of every month, is a public, informal discussion on a variety of philosophical problems. Be sure to come out to the inaugural event on September 13 or to one of the following ones! This first session will feature Dr. Sarah Wright (Philosophy) and Dr. Ruth Harman (Department of Language and Literacy Education) leading a lively conversation about everyday ethics.

At the Cafe, consider: Is it ok to ignore your drama-prone friend?  To lie to children about Santa Claus?  To gossip?  We will be addressing these cases of Everyday Ethics, using the same kinds of reasoning that we might use for weighty moral choices, but here used to think about everyday conundrums. We will focus on questions of what these small behaviors reveal about ourselves and our characters.

We look forward to seeing you there to engage in a philosophical discussion!
