Writer to Speak at Benedictine College

By Joel Hardy

09/25/2013

(KAIR)--Benedictine College is busy gearing up for its annual family day. An event where the family of Benedictine students can interact with their loved ones and experience at least a little of the Benedictine life.

Writer Connor Gallagher will be the featured speaker Friday night, and will deliver a lecture based on his book “If Aristotle's kid had an iPod”. Gallagher says that he drew upon his graduate school days studying Aristotle, as well as his experience raising eight children to write this book. He says that he realized that Aristotle had a lot to say about raising kids, most of which still applies even today. So he tried to go through the works of the philosopher to show those underlying principals of raising kids, even in this modern era.

He says that when he presents his lecture Friday night, the one simple goal that he has in mind is that he seeks to inspire people to gain even a small interest in philosophy; that they will take that interest and seek out more information so that they may be enlightened.

Gallagher's lecture will start at 7:00 in the McAllister board room on the fourth floor of the Ferrell academic center. The event is free and open to everyone.
