MURFREESBORO — A
political scientist will dissect the sometimes competing values of personal
freedom and furthering the greater good on the next edition of the “MTSU On the
Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Dr. Peter Augustine Lawler
will air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 20, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday,
Oct. 26, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Lawler will deliver a presentation titled “The Future of Our
Liberty is Confusing” at 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, in the Paul W. Martin Sr.
Honors Building’s auditorium. This event is free and open to the public.
The Dana Professor of Government at Berry College in Berry,
Georgia, Lawler is also executive editor of the academic journal “Perspectives
on Political Science.” He was a member of President George W. Bush’s Council on
Bioethics and is the author of more than 15 books, including “Allergic to
Crazy,” a compilation of some of his essays.
“I want to somehow keep what’s good about the modern world,
which is basically freedom, technology and justice, while adding on to it a
better understanding of love and death and relational responsibilities, what it
means to be a being who was born to know love and die,” said Lawler.
