Feb 2 - What Is All This Bulls#!^ ?

Join us for the first Spring P4L, where we will close-read excerpts from philosopher Harry Frankfurt's notorious bestseller, On Bullshit. We'll discuss Frankfurt's arguments that bullshitting is importantly different from lying or other non-truthful assertions, and how the distinction might help us deal productively with the occasional instance of horsepucky we encounter today.

Thursdays - 11:45–12:45 PM

Schmitt Hall, room 242 (the Philosophy department seminar room)

What is P4L?
Students and professors close-read and discuss a few of the greatest passages in the history of philosophy.

Who's invited?
No preparation or previous knowledge of philosophy is needed. Everyone is welcome!

Should I bring anything?
Bring a beverage, and if you're hungry, bring your actual lunch.

Brought to you by the Department of Philosophy at Montclair State University
