April 17, 2007
Robert Kane professor, philosophy, U of Texas, Austin
Robert Kane, a philosophy professor at the University of Texas at Austin, says there's considerable doubt and confusion in the modern world about objective values, and about how we can find them if they do exist. In his lecture, he suggests how to overcome doubts about objective values, whether they pertain to art, politics, religion, or ethics.
In his 40-year academic career, Kane has won 15 teaching awards and authored numerous articles and books about ethics and free will. The Significance of Free Will won first prize in the University of Texas's Robert W. Hamilton Faculty Book Awards Program in 1997.
