From the Kansas State University press release:
Gilbert Harman, Stuart Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, will deliver the public lecture of Kansas State University's philosophy symposium, "Naturalism in Science: Necessity or Bias?"
The symposium is April 10-12 at K-State. Harman's lecture, "Naturalism in Moral Philosophy," will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10, in Hale Library's Hemisphere Room.
"Harman's lecture will explore the nature of values," said Bruce Glymour, associate professor of philosophy at K-State. "Values aren't physical objects, so we can't learn about them in the same way we learn in science. That means we need to ask, 'what are values and how can we learn about them?' Harman's lecture will explore these questions and the answers to them."
K-State's "Naturalism in Moral Philosophy" Symposium is sponsored by the K-State department of philosophy and the K-State Center for the Understanding of Origins.
