Description:
The Christiansburg Public Library celebrates World Philosophy Day with Virginia Tech faculty member and modern-day American philosopher Dr. Michael Moehler on Thursday, November 15th. There will be time for questions and reflections. Refreshments will be provided.

Do you know this quote, "The unexamined life is not worth living"? It's from Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher. Dr. Moehler is a core faculty member of the Alliance for Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought at Virginia Tech.

Dr. Moehler works primarily in moral and political philosophy, with a focus on some of the key figures of the two disciplines, such as Hobbes, Hume, Kant, and Rawls. He is also interested in contemporary issues in moral and political philosophy, such as the integration of rational and evolutionary moral approaches, the topic of global justice and peaceful cooperation.
