Comments for Milton Fisk http://www.miltonfisk.org Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Indiana University Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:04:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Ethics and Survival, Chapter One by Ben B. http://www.miltonfisk.org/writings-in-progress/ethics-and-survival-chapter-one/comment-page-1/#comment-7288 Ben B. Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:04:52 +0000 http://www.miltonfisk.org/?page_id=177#comment-7288 I am currently a freshman in college. I got a bit of a late start at the age of 23, and as such have found myself to be a little rusty in an educational setting. The bottom line is that, after reading this article, I feel far more prepared to add something relevant to our discussions in philosophy. I had a hard time comprehending how the philosophy of ethics is relevant in the real world. It seemed to me as though universally breaking down every possible action into the category of right or wrong was an act in futility because the real world sees bad things happen to good people everyday. I am glad to have found this perspective which helped me to see the bigger picture of ethics and their indisputable role in a functioning society. I am currently a freshman in college.

Please join Ann and I there. You are responsible for this obsession of mine. You told me to visit Cuba because I would not understand it. I still don't. We can arrange a room in the same place in La Habana where Ann and I have stayed for years. YFTR, Frank Dear Milton,

I’ll be making my 21st trip to La Isla 22 Feb – 6 Mar. Please join Ann and I there. You are responsible for this obsession of mine. You told me to visit Cuba because I would not understand it. I still don’t. We can arrange a room in the same place in La Habana where Ann and I have stayed for years. YFTR, Frank

He and I have been corresponding regarding the Scholastics and the Spanish Enlightenment. It was nice to find your website, it introduced yourself rather well, I think. I teach History of Economic Ideas in an economics department at Keene State College in NH. I am from the radical tradition of economics (Marx, Keynes, etc. ). I do find Scholastic ideas quite useful, and apply them to Franciscan economic policy in early California. I am also making the grandchildren these days for my own parents, and so am a bit tired and overworked, but always up for exciting ideas. I also followed in the parental tradition by beoming a professor--I see we have that in common. Professor Meikle says you are a good friend.
