My talk entitled In Search of Good and Evil will offer a series of snapshots of what some Western philosophers have had to say about the meaning and value of these words within and beyond the living of a human life. While there are those today, both in religion and also in the political sphere, who urge us to embrace particular understandings of what these words might mean there are also those who suggest the search is at best in vain, and at worst an attempt to foist upon society a public doctrine that would marshal our thoughts and actions along a predetermined course. Come and join this debate as we seek to navigate our way around questions and theories that seem as pressing now as ever.
