Noam Chomsky’s Upcoming Lecture at Kutztown University -
Professor Noam Chomsky, a leading philosopher, linguist, and political activist
of the past 50 years, is coming to the Philosophy Department at Kutztown
University on November 21st to help inaugurate a yearly Lecture Series
celebrating UNESCO World Philosophy Day. This day is celebrated to promote
understanding among cultures around the world. Professor Chomsky will speak on
“The United States and the United Nations.” His lecture will address issues
pertaining to global understanding and is expected to critique the current state
of affairs and suggest ways for improving global relations. The central idea behind the celebration of World Philosophy Day is to use philosophical thinking to bring nations and cultures of the world into a more harmonious and respectful co-existence. The Philosophy Department and the entire KU community take it as their responsibility to educate students as citizens of the “global village” that our world has become. This calls for values of mutual acceptance, kindness, non-discrimination, love, and knowledgeable service to humanity everywhere. Chomsky’s philosophical journey, spread over more than half a century, embodies these values. It is fitting that he will deliver the inaugural lecture. Students, KU faculty and staff, as well the larger community, are welcome to this once in a lifetime opportunity of hearing a world leader of philosophical thought in our times. Prof. Chomsky’s lecture will be delivered at 6:30 p.m. in Schaeffer Auditorium on the campus of Kutztown University. Beginning Wednesday, October 12 free tickets to the event are available on campus at the front desk of the McFarland Student Union. (Reservations for groups-only can be made through KUPresents! at 610-683-4092.) Please see the KU Philosophy Department website for further updates: http://www.kutztown.edu/academics/liberal_arts/philosophy/.
