North By Left

By on March 1, 2013 0

Today and tomorrow I’m attending the Auburn Philosophy Department’s 5th annual conference, this one on “Theoretical Agency: Issues at the Intersections of Freedom and Belief”; schedule here.

After that I’m off to Hanover College, Indiana, at the invitation of John Ahrens, to give two talks, one on Milton Friedman’s critique of corporate social responsibility (for my general take whereon, see here), and one on free-market radical leftism (scroll to the bottom of the poster for what some may consider a tincture of irony).

Caffeinated Resurrection

It’s time for more Philosophy at the Gnu’s Room! (I forgot to announce our last one, “Philosophy & Technology,” Oct. 24.) Tonight’s session (Weds., Nov. 14, at 5:00 p.m.) is a panel of Dead Philosophers, at which various department members will be representing their favourite dead philosophers. I’ll be playing Aristotle. Come on by!

Death, With Coffee

Death, With Coffee

It’s time for more caffeinated philosophy at Auburn’s Gnu’s Room café/bookstore, as the AU Philosophy Club presents a roundtable discussion on Death this coming Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 5:00. If you plan to attend, arrive early to be sure of a seat (not so much because we are so popular as because the space is so small!). I’ll be presenting the same argument for “bargain basement immortality” that I gave at our last roundtable on death back in 2002 (i.e., I’ll make a case for the conclusion that nobody will ever die, but once you see what I mean you’ll be very disappointed even if you’re convinced).
