Budziszewski will be leading an 11-week discussion of his book, What We Can't Not Know. Copies of the book will be offered free of charge to participating students.

The reading group will meet every Wednesday (except during Spring Break) until April 22nd. We'll begin at 3:00 PM and wrap up at 4:00 sharp. To receive updates about location/meeting dates and instructions on where and when to pick up your copy of the book, just sign up below.

Among his research interests are classical natural law, virtue ethics, conscience and moral self-deception, the institution of the family in relation to political and social order, religion in public life, and the problem of toleration.
