Another talk that might be of interest to Austin LWers, hosted by Scott Aaronson. Description:

"In the 17th century, Spinoza took up the project first begun in Ancient Greece: to think our way toward ethics, grounding it on an objective description of nature. We've learned a tremendous amount about nature since Spinoza's day. Can it be put to use in furthering Spinoza's project?"

See the attached flyer.

Date: Wednesday, March 11
Time: 4:30 pm
Location: Avaya Auditorium, Peter O'Donnell Building POP 2.302
201 E 24th St, Austin, TX 78712
