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 September 17, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Abortion and Human Equality" and will be moderated by Dr. Alexander Bozzo (Philosophy, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:
"Few moral issues are as hotly contested as abortion. But what are the main arguments for and against it? In this Café we will discuss some of the these arguments (and the fanciful thought experiments associated with them!). In particular, we will discuss a recent argument put forward by opponents of abortion: "the moral equality argument." According to this argument, differences in intellectual ability, mental capacity, physical strength, race, sex, and so on, are irrelevant to whether human beings have equal moral rights. But what then grounds this equality? According to this line of argument, the only plausible ground is our common humanity. But, since fetuses are humans, doesn't this imply that fetuses too are moral equals, and thus have a right to life?"
Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!
UW-Stout students, faculty, and staff: Help us harvest, weed, mulch, and enjoy the great outdoors! All volunteers will be provided with gloves and tools. Please bring water and your BlueCard.

“Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.” – Joan Borysenko
The first week or two of school can feel like a lot is happening, and it can be incredibly overwhelming. As you start looking through your syllabi and seeing all of the projects and papers, as well as exams that are all lined up on the road ahead, stress can hit fast and it can hit hard. Not to mention the relationships you want to build and the activities you want to participate in, it can feel like a lot really quickly. Here are some tips to help manage your stress during this time:
Make a list of the things you need to do and prioritize it from most important to least important.
Take a break and allow yourself space to connect with others or yourself.
Stay active by going for a short walk or bike ride. Physical activity is a great stress relief.
Have some quiet time for yourself. Practice deep breathing or journaling on your own.
Step away from screens for 15 minutes. Reduce the amount of things you see from other people online and focus on the moment you are in now.
