John W. Powell
Philosophy
Philosophy Professor John Powell presented an invited paper to the April 2015 meeting of the North American Wittgenstein Society, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The paper title is "Just War Theorists and Pacifists As Ships Passing in the Night." Powell argues that it's too soon to declare just war theorists as victors (as many have done) and that better-grounded arguments and a clearer view of global stakes may renew this crucial debate.
J.W. Powell
Philosophy
Philosophy professor J.W. Powell authored the Jan. 24 "Atlantic" article "The Tyranny of the College Major," looking at why colleges should require students to take more courses out of their discipline. Powell encourages higher education to re-examine and strengthen the Bachelor's Degree with General Education. For the article, click here: http://bit.ly/1hSrJec.
