Wesleyan hosted a Veritas Forum Feb. 23 in Exley Science Center. Started at Harvard University in 1992 and hosted by coalitions of Christian fellowships at more than 50 schools, Veritas Forums aim to engage students and faculty in discussions of life’s hardest questions and the relevance of Christian perspectives to these issues.
During the forum, Elise Springer, pictured, assistant professor of philosophy, and Greg Ganssle, lecturer in philosophy at the Rivendell Institute at Yale University, shared different world views on the topic of “Is there wisdom in relativism?”
