SUMMARY:Duties to the Dead - What If Anything Do We Owe Them?
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\,  Will Kanwischer\, Graduate Assistant\, National High School Ethics Bowl at the UNC Parr Center for Ethics\, will argue that we have duties to the dead\, and that when we fail to perform them\, we wrong the dead. If he is right\, a person’s death does not mark the end of their importance to morality; we owe it to people to do things like keep promises and treat them with respect even after their life is over. Along the way\, he will introduce three influential puzzles facing his view. Thinking through (and hopefully solving) these puzzles will require us to reflect on the nature of time\, agency\, morality\, and prudence. \nMr. Kanwischer is a third-year graduate student in philosophy at UNC Chapel Hill interested in ethics and the history of philosophy. He is particularly interested in accounts of well-being and our duties to promote it\, as well as issues related to the connection between agency and time. He also works on the practical and theoretical philosophy of historical figures like Immanuel Kant\, David Hume\, and Friedrich Nietzsche. He earned his B.A. in philosophy and German from Bowling Green State University. \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact form to make the request.

SUMMARY:Ted Talk and Discussion: A Plants-Eye View by Michael Pollan
DESCRIPTION:We will watch this Ted Talk by Michael Pollan\,  the author of “The Omnivore’s Dilemma.”  Here is what the Ted Talk website says about this presentation: “What if human consciousness isn’t the end-all and be-all of Darwinism? What if we are all just pawns in corn’s clever strategy game to rule the Earth? Author Michael Pollan asks us to see the world from a plant’s-eye view.”  Following this 17 minute talk\, we will discuss his ideas and our reactions to them. \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please use our contact us form to make your request.
