Perry on "What Is Morality?"
This coming Friday, our own Michael Perry will be presenting (and I will be moderating) during a panel called, "What is Morality," at the Federalist Society's annual student symposium in Chicago (at Northwestern). Here is the web site and program. Typical (in my view) of Federalist Society events, the line-up of speakers and topics is rich, and far more diverse and broad than is (unfortunately) usually the case in the legal academy. If you are in or near Chicago, check it out. Of special interest, I expect, is the debate on religion in the public square between Kevin "Seamus" Hasson, the happy warrior for religious freedom and founder of the Becket Fund, and civil-religion's-bane, Michael Newdow. Hasson, by the way, has a very good book about religious freedom, which puts -- MOJ-style -- questions of moral anthropology at the heart of the matter.
