Philosopher David Krell: “The School for Stupefaction”
Dr. David Krell, professor of philosophy at DePaul University, will give a talk entitled “The School for Stupefaction” on Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 in room 109 of the Bartlett Center. The talk will ask whether over the past eight years one can say, in a philosophical defensible way, that the USA has achieved a new level of stupidity.
