Philosophy Lecture: "The Mercy-Justice Paradox in Historical Perspective"

Date: January 22, 2015 Time: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Event Description Dr. Alex Tuckness will deliver a philosophy lecture titled "The Mercy-Justice Paradox in Historical Perspective." Dr. Tuckness is Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies and Director of Graduate Education in the Department of Political Science at Iowa State University. His lecture is based on principles from the book he co-authored with John M. Parrish, titled "The Decline of Mercy in Public Life" (Cambridge University Press, 2014). Tuckness will discuss the historical roots of debates about the meaning of mercy. Understanding this history suggests how mercy might reassume a prominent place in public discourse. This lecture is the fourth in the 2014-2015 Philosophy Speaker Series at Wheaton College.
