Brown Bag Philosophy Seminar Series | Michael Torre, “Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas on the Defective Cause of Moral Evil”

Michael Torre will seek to offer the account of how we end up acting badly, when we do, as this is to be found in key passages of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Augustine’s City of God, and Aquinas’s Summa Contra Gentiles. He will suggest that the account is one that any number of people or traditions could embrace and that it accords with our "pre-philosophical" ideas.

Catering will be served!

This event is free and open to the public, and has been generously supported by the Mortimer Fleischhacker fund and the Philosophy Department at the University of San Francisco.
