EIGHTH ANNUAL CARUS LECTURE AT CONCORDIA
Concordia College will present the eighth annual Carus Lecture in Philosophy, "Ethics and Aesthetics: From Pragmatist Philosophy to the Art of Living,” featuring Richard Shusterman at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 23, in the Centrum, Knutson Campus Center. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Shusterman is a professor of philosophy and the Dorothy F. Schmidt Eminent Scholar in the Humanities at Florida Atlantic University. Educated at Jerusalem and Oxford, he was previously chair of the Temple University philosophy department before joining FAU in 2005. He has held academic appointments in Paris, Berlin, and Hiroshima and was awarded senior research Fulbright and NEH fellowships. His widely translated research covers many topics in the human and social sciences with particular emphasis on questions of philosophy, aesthetics, culture, language, identity, and embodiment.
Concordia College created the Carus Professorship in Philosophy and the Carus Lectureship in recognition of gifts from the charitable trusts established by M. Elisabeth Carus and her brother Alwin C. Carus. The Carus family grew up at LaSalle, Ill., and attended the University of Chicago, where Alwin established strong, lifelong connections that represented his deep interests in philosophy, science and religion.
Masks are required for this event.
