The American Philosophical Association occasionally sends out flyers depicting famous and influential people who studied philosophy. We don’t have a central location to post them, so I thought I’d post them here in virtual space:

Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 7th), Dr. Brittany Gentry will be giving a talk on the topic of time.  This event will be at 4:00 in ESLC 053.

Thursday , December 9th, we will have an Ethics Slam.  The topic is Space Ethics.  For this slam, we’ll be partnering with the Douglas Space and Science Foundation. It will be on Zoom at 6:00.  The registration link is the following: https://weber.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrdeiqqjIjH9AI2INo0eJcofH59wXb14J4

I have moved up the deadline for UTF applications to November 1, so students can know what they are doing before they register for classes. So apply soon if you are interested!

Instead of meeting today for the Korsgaard reading group, we will meet next week (Nov. 2) and discuss the readings then. We will read to page 60.

Here they are!

Undergraduate Teaching Fellows (UTFs) assist a professor in teaching a class. They are awarded $750 for the semester, and are expected to attend the class they are assisting with and work with the professor in helping the students with the material. For more information about USU’s UTF program, please see this site.

We will be looking for 7 UTFs in philosophy this coming spring. If you are interested, please complete the Philosophy UTF application form.
