Care for Creation invites you to join us for a virtual coffee conversation with Ken Goodpaster, Professor Emeritus, University of St. Thomas, based upon his article "On Being Morally Considerable". Who or what is worthy of our moral consideration? Humans beings only? Sentient beings? All living things? Or even a biotic community? What are the implications for our care for creation? Fill up your mugs, and get ready for a thought-provoking discussion. Register in advance below! PRESENTATION HANDOUTTIME OF INSIGHTS DOWNLOAD
Ken Goodpaster earned his A.B. in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame and his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Michigan. In 2014, he was named to Ethisphere Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics, and he was honored by the Society for Business Ethics for a “Career of Outstanding Scholarly Achievement in the Field of Business Ethics.” He is now Professor Emeritus in the St. Thomas Opus College of Business. Recently, along with Don Briel (posthumously) and Michael Naughton, Goodpaster published What We Hold in Trust: Rediscovering the Purpose of Catholic Higher Education (Catholic University Press, 2021). And in September 2022, Springer published (open access) his Times of Insight: Conscience, Corporations, and the Common Good, in its “Eminent Voices in Business Ethics” Book Series.
