Bill O'Connor, member of the Institute for Applied Philosophy, will continue UNC Asheville's philosophy lecture series with a talk on "The Problem of Evil" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, at UNC Asheville's Kellogg Center, 11 Broyles Road, Hendersonville. His talk will be based on a quote by the North American Bishop Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, "There is no simple answer to the question of why there is evil in the world." An open discussion will follow O'Connor's talk. The event is open to the public. A $5 donation will be suggested at the door.

The program is part of a year-long, nine-part series co-sponsored by UNC Asheville’s Philosophy Department and the Institute for Applied Philosophy. The series, "Great Quotes," is designed to foster discussion of philosophically significant issues surrounding well-known quotations.
