Ours is an age that prizes privacy. Yet we also inherit a tradition, dating from ancient times, East and West, that sees the good life in terms of promoting the common good, or at the least, not detracting from it. Politics or some form of public career has proven a time-honored pathway to such fulfillment. Of late, however, philanthropy and other forms of non-profit public service have come to the fore as important constituents of civic value. In this discussion, Professor Paul Lichterman will challenge students to examine from a variety of perspectives and disciplines the need for a commitment to the common good as an essential component for the conduct of life.
