The Institute for Applied and Professional Ethics and the Department of Philosophy have brought notable philosophers in Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy to present lectures both to the general public and to the department. Topics have ranged from questions in the law (criminal liability for minors, paternal rights, judicial review), political philosophy (terrorism and morality, J.S. Mill on liberalism, the war in Iraq, religious and cultural toleration), and ethics (the morality of truth-telling, honesty in business, preserving elephants, Stoic warriors). We have been honored to have as guests Michael Bratman, David Brink, Samuel Freeman, Thomas Christiano, David Copp, James Dreier, Thomas Hill Jr., Donald Hubin, Paul Hurley, Christine Korsgaard, Elijah Millgram, Peter Railton, David Schmidtz, Nancy Sherman, John Skorupski, and Elizabeth Willott.
