DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of English and the Department of Philosophy
  for a talk by Dr. K.M. (Katie) Ebner-Landy on her latest book The Charact
 er Sketch as Philosophy: Manners\, Mores\, Types.\n\n16 March 2026\, 4 p.m
 .\n	Leacock 738\n\nWhat do characters teach us? How do characters change ho
 w we behave? This book locates a forgotten ’third’ way of doing philosophy
 : one which began in ancient Greece\, and was of major importance in early
  modernity\, before being challenged by David Hume in the 1750s. This phil
 osophical approach involved writing short descriptions of typical figures 
 – from the Man with Bad Timing\, to the Button Maker of Amsterdam. What\, 
 this book asks\, might this tell us about the character types that we desc
 ribe today?\n\nKatie Ebner-Landy is an Assistant Professor of Aesthetics a
 t Utrecht University\, in the Netherlands\, and a Junior Fellow at Harvard
  Society of Fellows.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Department of En
 glish and the Department of Philosophy. It is free and open to all.\n
