Philosophers' Café: Where the Wild Things Are

Monday, February 10
7:00pm - 8:30pm
Brewery Nonic
Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting.

Our next meeting is February 10, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Where the Wild Things Are" and will be moderated by Dr. Julie Beston (Biology, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:

"As human civilization has expanded, the wild places of the world have shrunk, and the diversity and abundance of wild animals have diminished. What responsibility do we have to those wild things? Humans evolved, just like every other species on the planet. So why are our modifications of the world around us viewed so differently from the activity of other ecosystem engineers, like beavers? What limits should we place on our use of wilderness and wildlife? Such limits are often controversial; just consider the relisting of wolves a year after Wisconsin’s ill-fated 2021 hunt or the implementation of reservation requirements in some national parks. When we lack the will or the resources to save all the wild things, how do we decide which ones are acceptable losses?"

Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!
