Richard Taylor, professor emeritus, the University
of Rochester and Union College, will speak on “Abortion, Mercy
Killing and Infanticide: the Singer Revolution” on Friday, Feb. 23,
at 4:30 p.m. in Schaffer Library.
The Department of Philosophy's five-part series
— Philosophical Phridays @ Schaffer Library — is taking
philosophy out of the classroom and bringing it to the public. Each
event features a noted philosopher on issues ranging from abortion
to the ethical complexities of international research. The
series is in honor of the 100th anniversary of the American
Philosophical Association.
The final talk of the series is on March 2 at 4:30 p.m.:
“Confronting Ethical Complexities in International Research” by
Angela Wasunna, the University of Mombassa, Kenya, and
