Professor George A. Schrader gives an engaging performative defense of ethics as necessarily dialectical. Working dialectically from analytic to continental thought, from Plato to Sartre, Schrader advances the claim that this conception of morality is not condemned to Sartrean bad faith or Kierkegaardian despair. This talk was given at the American University in 1961 as part of the 4th Annual Bishop John F. Hurst Philosophy Lecture series. This talk may be of interest to current and former students of existential philosophy and ethical theory or anyone interested in learning about dialectical thinking.
