Coastal Carolina University professor Nils Rauhut will give a talk titled "Virtue Ethics and Sexuality" on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 4:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Thomas W. and Robin W. Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts. The event is free and open to the public.
This discussion, part of the University's Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values' Tea and Ethics series, will repeat Thursday, Sept. 25, at 6 p.m., in the Fellowship Hall of Myrtle Beach First Presbyterian Church.
Rauhut will frame his discussion with a question: A person who is courageous, honest, compassionate and just -- in short, a person who leads a life of moral virtue - is worthy of praise. Such a person is a role model and, if Plato is right, will lead a happy life. But is it certain that such a virtuous person will handle sexual desires well? Rauhut will argue that the relationship between virtue and sexuality is more complex than often assumed by famous thinkers.

The speaker will have a picture of Ron Charlton posted to point to a person who has no ethics and cheated on his wife many times and has several illegitimate kids to show for it. Sad. Posted by LOL on 9/6/2008
