It’s not too late to join – Thursday, 12:00 – 1:15, Main 227!

Philosophy Club’s season will start off with a brief, informal lecture, by me (Huenemann), to be followed by discussion. Bring a lunch, and meet your philosophical colleagues! Wednesday, September17th, 11:30-12:30, Main 207. All are welcome.

I haven’t seen “The Zero Theorem” – new, apparently. But Terry Gilliam is the greatest of philosophical filmmakers, in my opinion. Catch the double feature if you can!

On Friday, September 12 at 4:00 p.m. in Ballroom C of the WSU Student Union Building, Dr. Alison Jaggar, College Professor of Distinction at the University of Colorado, Boulder, will present “Measuring Gendered Poverty: Methodology and Morality.” The author of nearly 80 articles and author/editor of 10 books, Professor Jaggar is a pioneer in the field of feminist philosophy. She is the co-founder of the journal Hypatia and the Society for Women in Philosophy and very likely taught the first class on feminist philosophy in the United States. All are invited, and a reception will follow.
