ELFT HÍRADÓ

["Krisztina Biber" <Biberk AT ceu.hu>]

The Philosophy Department and the Humanities Center cordially invite you to a 
public lecture by 
Hilary Putnam (Harvard University)
Friday, 9. May, 5.00 PM - Popper Room
"Ethics Without Metaphysics"  

Chair: Howard Robinson, CEU Philosophy Department

Hilary Putnam, one of America's most distinguished philosophers, surveys an 
astonishingly wide range of issues and proposes a new, clear-cut approach to 
philosophical questions -- a renewal of philosophy. He contests the view that 
only science offers an appropriate model for philosophical inquiry. His 
discussion of topics from artificial intelligence to natural selection, and 
of reductive philosophical views derived from these models, identifies the 
insuperable problems encountered when philosophy ignores the normative or 
attempts to reduce it to something else.
