The Department of Philosophy
will host the following presentation:
“On Torture”
by
Dr. Jeffrey Tiel
Tuesday, February 26, 2019
3:00 pm in the Schar Ronk Lecture Hall
Torture involves the
deliberate infliction of (intense) pain for coercive or punishment
reasons. Are there any conditions under
which torture can be justified? Dr. Tiel
will argue that such conditions exist, and that it may be ethically justifiable
to torture someone in specific kinds of interrogative cases.
However, while an action
is ethically justifiable, that does not entail that it ought to be generally
adopted. Several potent constitutional
and sociological concerns will be raised and considered.
Come for an enlightening and lively discussion. All are welcome!
Sponsored by the AU Philosophy
Club and the Ohio Mu chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, in conjunction with The Department
of Philosophy
