Dr. Stephen Laumakis
The event will be held from noon to 1 p.m. in Room 126, John R. Roach Center for the Liberal Arts. Everyone is welcome.
Laumakis’ paper offers a comparative evaluation of the value of external goods in the pursuit of "happiness" and human flourishing in three major philosophical traditions.
The foci of comparison are the philosophical and theological views of an Aristotelian and Thomistic approach, and a broadly Buddhist conception of the value of external goods and their roles in the pursuit of human flourishing and the good human life.
