Grand Rapids, Mich. - On April 29, the Aquinas College philosophy department will host its third and final Disputatio event of the academic year when a panel
of philosophy and theology students from Aquinas will debate “Can War Ever Be Just?”
WHAT: Disputatio: Can War Ever Be Just?
WHEN: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at 7 p.m.
WHERE: Aquinas College’s Loutit Room; 1607 Robinson Rd SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506
COST: Free and open to the public
Aquinas students Mike Ingram (theology), Seth Kreeger (philosophy and theology), and Clare O'Malley (philosophy) will be debating various positions on just war. The students are constructing their own arguments and the event will be moderated by Bryan Pilkington, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Philosophy.
The goal of the Disputatio series is to offer an opportunity for members of the Aquinas community to engage each other and their peers on challenging moral issues in a serious yet collegial manner. The Disputatio series kicked off in October 2014 with a debate between David Solomon, Ph.D. (Notre Dame), Fr. Bill Miscamble, Ph.D. (Notre Dame) and Robert Marko, Ph.D. (Aquinas College) on whether President Truman should have dropped the bomb. The second event, held in January 2015, in the series featured a panel of Aquinas students debating “Is Philosophy Vital to Education?”
