Why do the images from Abu Ghraib prison that showed young women smiling, giving thumbs-up, while abusing naked Iraqi prisoners fascinate us? How can they maintain at their trials that they did it “just for fun”? Is the military using women as weapons of war? Kelly Oliver, W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy, discusses these issues at the Feb. 6 Thinking Out of the Lunch Box.
Thinking Out of the Lunch Box is a series of lunchtime talks with a philosophical flavor hosted by David Wood, Centennial Professor of Psychology, and sponsored by the Vanderbilt Office of Community, Neighborhood and Government Relations in partnership with the Nashville Public Library.
