Law Forum Evaluates Philosophical Systems

Two professors and a lecturer will evaluate existentialism and positivism in a discussion of "Ethics for the Modern Man," at the Law School Forum at 8 p.m. tonight in New Lecture Hall.

Discussing the two philosophical systems will be Professor C. W. Hendel, Professor William Barrett, and Philipp G. Frank, lecturer in Physics.

Hendel, head of the philosophy department at Yale, will moderate and join the discussion between physicist-philosopher Frank, an exponent of existentialism and Barrett, a positivist. Barrett is a professor of philosophy at New York University.
