Modern philosopher to present lecture at SFA


NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Not all great philosophers are dead.

Believe it or not, some are alive and well, and they are working on issues relevant to 21st-century life.

One such philosopher, Dr. John Lachs, will present a lecture on tolerating the different, titled ÒLeaving Others Alone,Ó at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 11, in Liberal Arts North Room 102 at Stephen F. Austin State University.

Lachs is a centennial professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt University. He has served as a consultant and lecturer to many universities and organizations around the world on issues of human nature. In addition to writing more than 160 books and articles, Lachs has made numerous television and radio appearances.

The lecture is free and open to the public. A question and answer session will follow the presentation. For more information, contact the SFA Department of English and Philosophy at (936) 468-2101.
