Description
Dr. Christopher Franklin will deliver a philosophy lecture titled "Orientations to the Good: Beyond Consequentialist and Retributivist Theories of Blame." Dr. Franklin joined the department of philosophy at Grove City College (PA) in 2014. His primary philosophical interests include ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of action, and philosophy of religion. In his lecture, Dr. Franklin will defend the value of blame, discussing the punitive practice of blame vs. the ethic of extending forgiveness and mercy. This lecture is the last in the 2014-2015 Philosophy Speaker Series at Wheaton College.
