[SydPhil] Next Tuesday's talk

[Peter Bowden]

Philo Agora's  talk Tuesday, June 24  will be  Joffre Balce : The Art 
of War: Sun Tzu vs. Niccolo Machiavelli.

War is fought for a purpose, applies universal principles & has a 
respect for wisdom, even if it applies violence in th euse of that 
wisdom. Violence has a philosophy. Many politicians, economists, 
diplomats, businessmen & soldiers simply call that philosophy, war. 
To defend ourselves from war & violence, one must understand its 
essence & nature better.

Joffre is an economist who has worked in the Philippines, Malaysia, 
China, USA & Germany.  His interest  in philosophy was 
developed  through  a Bachelor of Arts at the Ateneo de Manila 
University. He has lectured on the history of economic thought at the 
University of Asia & the Pacific, where he obtained a Master of 
Science in Industrial Economics.  He is currently working on his PhD.
