On Monday, April 27, 2009 at 5:00pm, the Philosophy and Religion Society will feature Lucius T. Outlaw (Professor of Philosophy and of African-American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University) in the second meeting of the Philosophy and Religion Lecture Series. Dr Outlaw will speak on the subject: “The Academy and Philosophy: Good for Black Folks?”

Dr. Outlaw’s research interests include African and African American philosophy, political theory and social thought. He has published works such as On Race and Philosophy, In Search of Critical Social Theory in the Interest of Black Folks, and “Philosophy, Hermeneutics, Social- Political Theory: Critical Thought in the Interest of African-Americans” (of the Philosophy Born of Struggle anthology)

The lecture will be followed by a reception in the Henderson Lounge of Merrill Hall. All are invited. We encourage you and your students to come (if interested).

I have decided that we have had enough time in the library: people have had their opportunity to get help from me regarding finding a topic and appropriate sources.

For Wednesday, we'll be back in class and discussing Ch. 18, "World Hunger" by Hugh LaFollette.

For Wed. we will again meet in the library.

Some students are doing well and making good progress on their projects. Other students are not doing well with it. If you are in the latter camp, you especially need to get a topic and get your research under way!

See you Wed.

Monday we are meeting in the library with a librarian who will give a tutorial on philosophy / ethics resources; for Friday read the Killing and Letting Die article in the book.

The reading for Monday after break is the Lori Gruen article from the Companion to Applied Ethics. Some copies are in my box in the philosophy dept.

Due to a growing dissatisfaction with the Companion to Applied Ethics, I decided we should change our approach. For Wed., please pick up and read the articles by Cahn and Thomas that I left in my box in the philosophy dept.

Wed. I will bring copies of the articles on terrorism from the Cahn anthology.
