Lecture Tonight

Although this may not be directly related to philosophy I thought it might still be relevant to recent class discussions.

Tonight: "The Legacy of Adam Smith and the Future of Capitalism"

Rhodes is hosting a Symposium on "The Legacy of Adam Smith and the Future of Capitalism" through the Project for the Study of Liberal Democracy. This year marks the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and we will hear comments from James Otteson, Professor of Philosophy and Economics at Yeshiva University and Charles G. Koch Senior Fellow at the Fund for American Studies, and Peter McNamara, Associate Professor and Graduate Director in the Department of Political Science at Utah State University. I'm the discussant. If you saw Brian C. Anderson's review of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's Commonwealth in this morning's Wall Street Journal, you understand why this discussion takes on added importance. The fun begins at 7:00 PM in the Bryan Campus Life Center.

    This counts. If you were in attendance, please respond with a comment to my earlier post regarding Carrots and extra credit.

    Thanks to Claire for the announcement.
