Philosopher Elijah Millgram will present a lecture titled “Reasonably Virtuous” Nov. 1 at 4:30 p.m. in the Philosophy Library, Room B-316, of Tribble Hall at Wake Forest University.

He is the author of “Practical Induction,” published by Harvard University Press in 1997 and an editor of “Varieties of Practical Reasoning,” published by MIT Press in 2001.

The lecture is sponsored by the Wake Forest philosophy department and the Thomas Jack Lynch Philosophy Funds. Admission is free and the public is invited. There will be light refreshments following the event. For more information, call 336-758-3919.
