Join the Department of Philosophy for a colloquium on "Considerations on Loyalty" featuring Drs. David and Deborah Soles.

Abstract
At the moment allusions to loyalty figure prominently in both the media and informal conversations.  Almost daily one encounters headlines about Trump's refusal to take the RNC Loyalty Oath, numerous news stories discuss Pence's assertion that his loyalty to the Constitution outweighed his loyalty to Trump, and several Jan. 6 defendants claim to have been motivated by loyalty to Trump. Unfortunately, much of what is said reveals serious misunderstandings about loyalty. This paper attempts to address some of the confusion by considering the nature, duties and constraints of loyalty.

Free and open to the public.
