On Sept. 30, Professor Lawrence Cahoone of the philosophy
department delivered the inaugural lecture in the College's
new "Last Lecture" series. Funded by the Lilly
Endowment Vocation Initiative and sponsored by the Center
for Religion, Ethics and Culture, the series is designed
to offer students and faculty the opportunity to learn more
about why some of their favorite professors find their work
meaningful and worthwhile. The speaker, under the pretext
of delivering a retirement, shares with students some reflections
of the questions: Given a "last" chance, what is
worth saying? What wisdom would be most important to pass
on? What challenges have to go unfulfilled?
Cahoone earned his Ph.D. from the State University of New
York-Stony Brook. The author of numerous publications, he
specializes in social and political philosophy, American
philosophy, and 19th and 20th century European philosophy.
