Virtual Lunch & Learn: Open Question – Does Truth Matter?

by emma | Aug 27, 2020

REGISTER

“Open Questions” is a new program presented by New Hampshire Humanities that explores essential questions about meaning and life that are important to Granite Staters.

This year at the AIM we are looking at commemoration and memorialization, how those choices are made and by whom, and how commemoration holds and creates meaning and “truth”. With that in mind Dr. Joshua Tepley, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Saint Anselm College, will ask “Does Truth Matter?” in this FREE program. We hope you will join us and add your voice and ideas to the discussion.

Registration required for this free program. A Zoom link with be sent to all participants before the program. Please be sure to have the Zoom platform set up on your computer so you will be able to attend.
