Evil, you say? A problem, perhaps? We’ll find out what many prominent philosophers have had to say about that during our meeting this week.
Our very own Dr. Robert Gressis will present on The Problem of Evil, and lead a discussion to follow. Currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Northridge, Dr. Gressis will focus on the following during his presentation:
- The free will defense
- Skeptical theism
- Privation theodicy
With his enthusiasm and knowledge, we are in for a great night of a topic heavily debated in the Philosophy of Religion.

Michael Sechman will present to us on the topic of Identity. This will be a continuation of our discussion on the same topic that was started last week by Naomi.
This past summer, Michael had the good fortune of being selected for the highly competitive 2009 Summer Seminar in Philosophy at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Over the several weeks he was in Boulder, Michael took part in graduate-level seminar study on the topic of—you guessed it—Identity!
Therefore, this week’s presentation (and discussion to follow) should prove to be particularly informative and illuminating. Like last week, you definitely won’t want to miss this one!

For the next two weeks, the topic is Identity! This week, Naomi Homayouni will present to us a variety of views about this topic. Don’t know much about this topic? Fear not! Naomi’s presentation will begin with the basics and proceed until we’re all questioning whether we are identical with our past and future selves.
This is sure to be a great presentation and discussion to follow! Don’t miss it!
