Foundations of Just and Equal Social Relations
August 8-13, 2005
Dr. Michael Pakaluk

Dr. Pakaluk, associate professor of philosophy at Clark University in Worcester, MA, received his B.A. and later Ph.D. from Harvard. Drawing on his work under W.V. Quine and John Rawls at Harvard University, Dr. Pakaluk presented for analysis various approaches to the organization of human society. In particular, he challenged participants to chart a course between the extremes of individualism and collectivism, errors which have so tragically marked the pages of twentieth-century history

Dr. Pakaluk is the author of several books and many scholarly articles in various areas of philosophy, including Other Selves: Philosophers on Friendship, the Clarendon Aristotle volume on Nicomachean Ethics, and, most recently, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: An Introduction, published by Cambridge University Press. His work has played a major role in the recently renewed philosophical attention to the notion of friendship in ethics and political theory. Dr. Pakaluk has been a visiting professor or scholar at Brown, St. Andrews, Cambridge and Harvard.

A proper understanding of essential problems of our reality and community will help me in solving legal problems and to interpret the law better.

The field of justice, morality and ethics is important in supplying the laws.
