Philosophical ForumOffers ‘Meaning of Life’

The Philosophical Forum will sponsora lecture, followed by discussion, onTuesday, October 23, 7:30-9:00 PM, inthe Leake Room.

The lecture, titled “The Meaning ofLife as a Philosophical Question,” will bepresented by H. Skott Brill, who joinedthe Philosophy Department this fall. Brillcomes to FSU with a Ph.D. in philosophyfrom Michigan State University.

It is sometimes said that the most

important philosophical question is:what is the meaning of life? Brill’spresentation will emphasize the impor-tance of laying the groundwork neces-sary for an intelligent and fruitfulexploration of this central philosophicalquestion. In his view, laying an appro-priate groundwork principally involvesbecoming clear about the question itself-- that is, generating and criticallyexamining possible interpretations ofthe question, in an effort to arrive at aninterpretation such that the question is“irreducible, answerable, and importantto answer.” Brill will also connect hisview about the importance of laying anappropriate groundwork to an issuecentral to studies on the meaning oflife: whether the existence of God or anafterlife is necessary for life to havemeaning. In his view, the answer maywell depend in part on how we interpret“life” and “meaning.”

Julie Funt, Allen’sDaughter, to Speak

Julie Funt, daughter of “CandidCamera” creator Allen Funt, will speak atFSU Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. inthe Manicur Assembly Hall in LaneUniversity Center. Her visit is sponsoredby the S.A.F.E. Office.

Julie Funt has spent her life observingthe hidden truths beneath our socialselves and is now empowering collegestudents to increase their self-esteem andvalue the more important things in life.

Living through much of her youth withan eating disorder and weighing morethan 200 pounds by the end of college,Funt has experienced her share of uphillbattles, but she has emerged victorious.Luckily, she learned as she got well thatchanging the outside was only society’sanswer to her problems. It is changing theinside that can transform one’s life.

“Thin was very anti-climatic after alifetime of chasing it,” she said. “At firstI reveled in those tiny little pants, butday after day the narcotic effect of mynew body wore off. We are trained tochase a lot of false gods in pursuit ofcontentment – fame, beauty andfinancial abundance – but often whenwe reach them, we find they do not fillthe holes in our lives.”

“Europe to America” tobe Presented at Roper

“Europe to America,” a collection ofworks by local artist Hilmar Gottesthal,will be on exhibit through Sunday, Nov.4, at the Stephanie Ann Roper Gallery inthe Fine Arts Building.

This eclectic collection of sculptures,drawings, watercolors and oil paintingsreflects Gottesthal’s experiences in Europeand the United States.

Born Hilmar Udo Fister in Carinthia,Austria, the artist began to sign hisworks with “Gottesthal,” the name of hischildhood village, while studying at theVienna Academy of Fine Arts. The wordmeans ”God’s Valley.” Now an Americancitizen, he lives in Flintstone, Md.

Gottesthal’s interest in Byzantine artand an Austrian-Turkish Cultural ExchangeGrant took him to Greece and Turkey,where he spent 30 years painting, sculpt-ing and studying ancient ruins, myths andreligious icons of the region. His styleoften reflects a Byzantine influence, withits use of mosaic-like patterns andcomplex pointillism often used to expressspiritual ideas. Many of his works areinspired by mythology, Christian scrip-tures, current issues and the surroundingsof his Western Maryland home.

Take a Test That GivesYOU Answers:

Have you ever awakened next tosomeone you didn’t know and couldn’tremember how you got there? Have youwatched a friend pass out from drinkingand wondered if you should call 911?Have you failed a test or done poorly ona paper because you were hung over?Are you just curious as to how you fit inwith other college students and theirdrinking patterns?

If so, mark Oct. 18 on your calendar.On that day, you can take a self-test foralcohol problems when FSU participatesin National Alcohol Screening Day.

You will also have the opportunity tocomplete an anonymous written ques-tionnaire about alcohol and talk one onone with a trained individual who cananswer your questions more specificallyand, if appropriate, direct you to supportor treatment services on campus.

“Students come to college andexperience freedoms they never hadbefore, but they also need informationto make informed choices, as well asguidance and understanding when

things go wrong,” saidSpencer Deakin, director ofcounseling at FSU. “Thisanonymous program is

designed to make iteasy for anyone oncampus to exploretheir use of andattitudes towardalcohol in a non-

threatening, stigma-free environment.The 18 through 21 age range is the

developmental period of heaviest alcoholconsumption for most drinkers in theUnited States. Binge drinking (drinkingseveral drinks in one sitting) is the type

of alcohol problem most often engagedin by this age range. In fact, a 2000study found that 48 percent of FSUstudents reported binge drinking at leastonce within two weeks of being sur-veyed. The local study shows that bingedrinkers are involved in more disciplin-ary problems, have poorer academicperformance, experience physical injuryand illness and engage in propertydamage more often.

The project is co-sponsored by theFSU Counseling Center and PsychologicalServices and the S.A.F.E. Office. Refresh-ments will be served.
