We would like to thank everyone who attended the event for their support and interest. As the pictures will attest, there was a good turn out. We would also like to thank Dr. Adriel M. Trott for delivering a very interesting and relevant lecture, since the 2008 elections are right around the corner.
She correctly asserts that, in our present day, general attitudes toward politics tend to be apathetic and impertinent. Politics happen somewhere miles away, in Washington D.C or Austin, but not where the individual lives. Part of her goal during this lecture was to challenge those attitudes and change the general view on present day politics through Aristotle's understanding of what it meant to be political and why "human being" already implies a political life.
Overall, she engagingly delivered her lecture, and she successfully addressed insightful questions from the audience. We give her two thumbs up!
If you were present at the event, feel free to comment about it in this blog. In fact, I encourage people to elaborate on Dr. Trott's lecture. Remember that our organization exists to develop and further the philosophical life of our university and our community, so we need your mindful voice. Thank you again for your support.
