A lecture by Prof. Michael Gorman (CUA)

This event is free and open to the public

Lecture Description:

Some people say that morality is relative--what's right for you might be wrong for me, and what's wrong for you might be right for me. But this position has a lot of problems, and it's hard to find anyone who actually believes it consistently. Why, then, is it so attractive? This talk will be about why moral relativism seems important to us and how we can get along without it.
