Dr. Michael Pakaluk
Dr. Pakaluk, associate professor
of philosophy at Clark University
in Worcester, MA, received his
B.A. and later Ph. D. from Harvard
University, studying under W.V.
Quine and John Rawls. He is
the author of several books
and many scholarly articles
in various areas of philosophy,
including Other Selves: Philosophers
on Friendship, the Clarendon
Aristotle volume on Nicomachean
Ethics, and, most recently,
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics:
An Introduction, published by
Cambridge University Press.
EICEE has invited Dr. Pakaluk
for a second year at the Neuwaldegg
Summer Seminar 2006. His background
in ethical theory admirably
qualifies him to introduce graduate
students from a variety of academic
disciplines to the main approaches
to the question of ethics and
morals in contemporary society.
This intensive course intends
to point the way to coherent
consensus on matters of ethics
in a contemporary multi-cultural
context.
Dr. Pakaluk’s work has
played a major role in the recently
renewed philosophical attention
to the notion of friendship
in ethics and political theory.
He is the Director of the Boston
Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy
and a Founding Member of the
American Public Philosophy Institute.
Dr. Pakaluk has been a visiting
professor or scholar at Brown,
St. Andrews, Cambridge and Harvard.
He is currently working on a
new translation of the Nicomachean
Ethics, as well as a treatise
on philosophical issues concerning
the family.
