Philosophy Club Lecture

Thursday, Feb 16, 4:30pm in RWST 113

We will have a visiting scholar – R.J. Snell – on campus this Thursday.  He will be presenting on a 2oth century philosopher named Bernard Lonergan.  Though Lonergan is under-read these days, he was quite famous in his time (Time Magazine ran a feature on him in the 1970s, calling him the finest philosophical thinker of the 20th century).  Dr Snell will introduce us to Lonergan, what he had to say, and why he is significant.

His talk will be called, “Authentic Subjectivity is Genuine Objectivity: Self-Knowledge and the Hope of Philosophy.”

All are welcome!

 

FLASH! Philosophy next Tuesday

reason_has_always_existed-598-185It’s time for another Flash! Philosophy event. This is when students present some tasy morsel of an idea – it could be something funny or serious, original or heard/read somewhere else, whatever or whatever. It’s mainly a chance for students (and faculty) to have fun discussing ideas. If you’re interested in presenting something – and you should be! – send Huenemann a note at charlie.huenemann@usu.edu.
