New Philosophy Discussion Group: “The Wrong of Rudeness”

October 4, 2019

How civil should one aim to be in our increasingly divisive age? Consider joining several members of the philosophy department who will be meeting to discuss a brand new book on the topic: The Wrong of Rudeness: Learning Modern Civility from Ancient Chinese Philosophy (link). 

Though the author, Amy Olberding, is a philosopher, she intends the book for a wide audience and writes in an accessible fashion. The discussions will take place on the following schedule:

Wednesdays, 10:20-11:15 AM, Dundon-Berchtold Hall 132
  • Oct. 9: Chapters 1-3
  • Oct. 30: Chapters 4-6
  • Nov. 11/13 or 20 (depending on group’s preference): Chapters 7-9
If interested, please contact Andrew Eshleman, philosophy, to help him have an idea of how many to expect: eshleman@up.edu.

McNerney-Hanson Ethics Bowl

April 22, 2013

The first annual McNerney-Hanson Ethics Bowl was held on Saturday, April 20, according to CAS dean Michael Andrews. The event was sponsored by Andrews, who serves as the McNerney-Hanson Endowed Chair in Ethics, with additional support from the Dundon-Berchtold Ethics Grant. Two UP teams took part: one team of graduate students from Pamplin School of Business, and a second team of undergraduate students from the Speech and Debate Union. Special thanks go out to Bohn Lattin and Brian Simmons, communication studies; Richard Askay and Andrew Eshleman, philosophy; and Brian Adams, business administration.

Unlike other ethics bowl competitions, the McNerney-Hanson Ethics Bowl reflects a particular UP emphasis on ethical formation and the study and articulation of ethical theory and practice. The purpose is to expose graduate and undergraduate students to a philosophical kind of reflective, ethical thinking that allows them to apply an understanding of ethics to a particular situation or issue. For more information contact Andrews at 7760 or andrews@up.edu.
