ROUNDTABLE
BETTY Suv FI-owEnS, Moderator
ood afternoon. When we were planning this meeting, we decided
to try something different this year for the roundtable discussion.
We noticed that most members leave before the Sunday morning
business meeting and discussion roundtable and so miss what have often
been lively discussions. So we thought we'd move the discussion to the end
of Saturday afternoon--but we neglected to take the football game into
account! So no,x once again, those who are left will have to be twice as
philosophical for the ones that we've lost. I've also been asked, "Who's on
the roundtable?" Yom're the people on the roundtable; this is the philoso-
phy part of the philosophical discussion.
I want to thank Mike for what I think is a wonderful putting-together
of this program. Now, Mike is so modest, he'll probably stand up and
thank Ima 1 logg-so thank you, Ima I logg. As you can see, he's clapping
for her now.
We have heard so much today and so many different things on many
different themes. I'm guessing that at some point during the day, you've
probably wished to say something in relation to a point made by a speaker.
Normally, conducting a discussion in a classroom, I would want to make
sure it stayed on topic and that if Person A said something, that Person
B's response should have something to do with that. Those won't be the
ground rules here. There is one rule, however, and that is that you wviii
kindly keep your comments to a reasonable length so that other people
have a chance to talk.
One of the issues we faced in thinking about the programming is that
there are so many members of the Philosophical Society who could just as
easily have been up here on one of the panels. Many of them are sitting
out here in the audience today. I was thinking of Bill Wright, for example,
a photographer and writer. I would have liked to know what he thought
about some of the questions Evan asked. There are just so many peopleout there who could have been up here.
So now is sour chance. When you raise your hand, one of the three
microphones will be given to you. Also, swould you stand up so we can see
you, and identify yourself? That would be very helpful.
Aum~uai: MI name is Tom Palaima, I'm a professor at the University of
Texas and a member of the society, a very happy member of the society.
