SUMMARY:When Should You Unfollow?: A Philosophical Guide to Political Disagreement with Professor Daniel Muñoz
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker\, Professor Daniel Muñoz\, is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at UNC Chapel Hill\, and is a core faculty member in the Chapel Hill PPE (Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics) Program.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, he asks: should you\, for the sake of getting at the truth\, stop following sources that you often disagree with?  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Professor Muñoz will explore the argument that even if someone is less reliable than your other preferred sources\, they might still be more valuable. As long as the new source is (1) better than random chance and (2) independent of your other sources\, they’re going to add more for you than just following another person who just agrees with your familiar sources. \n\n\n\nLocation: MHRA Room 1214 \n\n\n\nHosted by the UNCG Department of Philosophy and the UNCG Philosophy Club

SUMMARY:Public Republic
DESCRIPTION:Join the Philosophy Department by the Minerva Statue for their annual public reading of all 10 books of Plato’s Republic. \n\n\n\nThis event will take place on the lawn between College Ave. and the Minerva statue near the EUC. On that day\, from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.\, we will publicly read all 10 books of Plato’s Republic. As Republic is written in a dramatic\, dialogical format\, and represents a day-long discussion amongst (mostly) friends\, we will be bringing this dialogue to life in our performance. We welcome anyone who would like to drop by\, even for just a short while\, to join us. \n\n\n\nWe enthusiastically welcome volunteer readers! \n\n\n\nWe will be devoting an hour to each of Republic’s 10 books. In some of those books\, there are lots of characters participating in the conversation\, and in others\, just a few. We’d ideally like to have 2 volunteer readers for each role\, for each book.  \n\n\n\nWe recommend scouting out the content of your role before signing up. We’ll bring plenty of hard copies of each book to the event\, so no need to print them out yourself! \n\n\n\nYOU CAN SIGN-UP TO BE A VOLUNTEER READER HERE! \n\n\n\nLearn more about the Public Republic here.  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, including inquiries into disability accommodations\, feel free to contact Dr. Adam Rosenfeld at amrosenf@uncg.edu. \n\n\n\n\n\nPhilosophy students participate in the 2018 “Public Republic.”

SUMMARY:Great Conversation: Make-believe Everything You Read

SUMMARY:'Why Are There Flat Earthers?': a presentation in the Great Conversation series by Dr. Jeffrey Kaplan
DESCRIPTION:The planet Earth is a sphere (Technically\, it’s an ‘oblate spheroid’). \n\n\n\nSo why\, since 2016\, do an increasing number of people believe that it is flat—something known to be false for over two thousand years? The answer is that they are led to this conclusion by a specific theory of knowledge—an extreme version of a view held by 17th and 18th century philosophers\, such as John Locke and David Hume.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation lays out these theories\, explains where they go wrong\, and shows what they reveal about our own knowledge of the world. \n\n\n\nRead here!

SUMMARY:Philosophy Ethics Bowl
DESCRIPTION:All UNCG students are invited to participate in (or simply attend!) the Philosophy Department’s annual Ethics Bowl! \n\n\n\nWhat is an Ethics Bowl?   \n\n\n\nAn Ethics Bowl is a competition in which small teams of students answer questions about morally complex scenarios. The Ethics Bowl format is distinct from a debate in some notable ways. Perhaps most importantly\, in an Ethics Bowl it is possible for competitors to agree with one another about the topics being discussed. The goal for all competitors is to draw out as much rational clarity as possible on the issues at stake\, and in this sense\, competing teams are collaborators.  \n\n\n\nTeams are awarded points on the basis of the coherence and insight of their contributions to a respectful and productive dialogue. The top two teams will receive prizes.  \n\n\n\nThe deadline to sign up is Friday\, September 1. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the Ethics Bowl and sign up here.
