Neglected Virtues of Honesty - Christian Miller Lecture

Come join Triangle Heterodox for Christian Miller's talk on “What is Honesty, Are Most People Honest, and How Can We Become More Honest?” at the Parr Center for Ethics at UNC!

Taken from the event description:

"Honesty is clearly an important virtue...Yet philosophers have said almost nothing about the virtue of honesty in the past fifty years. This talk aims to draw attention to this surprisingly neglected virtue. The first part will give a preliminary account of the virtue. The second will draw upon empirical research from psychology to assess how honest we tend to be. And the third part will outline some strategies for reducing the character gap between the virtue of honesty and our actual characters."

Talk begins at 5:30pm and will run 90 minutes, with opportunities for refreshments afterwards.

This will be part of a series of talks at UNC we will be attending. Triangle Heterodox, and our sister club, the Raleigh Philosophy Bookclub, has attended lectures at UNC in the past and has had great experiences interacting with the students, speakers, and faculty. Let's keep up our reputation for being respectful and engaged community members! This means respecting the primacy of students' involvement in these discussions and keeping our engagements modest during the Q&A session.
