Youdon’t have to wait until your 20s andyour 30s to make a contribution forChrist in this world. For me personally, Ididn’t hear that as a teenager.”

Opening the show will be Soul Inside,a group from Morgantown, W.Va.,comprised of six dedicated musicianswho passionately promote Christianitythrough their love of music. The bandbrings together a mix of world rhythms,melodic trumpet lines and smooth funkjams to create a sound that is truly popworthy, yet very musical and distinctive.

Philosophical ForumOffers ‘Meaning of Life’

The Philosophical Forum will sponsora lecture, followed by discussion, onTuesday, October 23, 7:30-9:00 PM, inthe Leake Room.

The lecture, titled “The Meaning of

Life as a Philosophical Question,” will bepresented by H. Skott Brill, who joinedthe Philosophy Department this fall.Brill comes to FSU with a Ph.D. inphilosophy from Michigan State Univer-sity.

It is sometimes said that the mostimportant philosophical question is:what is the meaning of life? Brill’spresentation will emphasize the impor-tance of laying the groundwork neces-sary for an intelligent and fruitfulexploration of this central philosophicalquestion. In his view, laying an appro-priate groundwork principally involvesbecoming clear about the question itself— that is, generating and criticallyexamining possible interpretations ofthe question, in an effort to arrive at aninterpretation such that the question is“irreducible, answerable, and importantto answer.” Brill will also connect hisview about the importance of laying anappropriate groundwork to an issuecentral to studies on the meaning oflife: whether the existence of God or anafterlife is necessary for life to havemeaning. In his view, the answer maywell depend in part on how we interpret“life” and “meaning.”

Gottesthal’s interest in Byzantine artand an Austrian-Turkish CulturalExchange Grant took him to Greece andTurkey, where he spent 30 years paint-ing, sculpting and studying ancientruins, myths and religious icons of theregion. His style often reflects a Byzan-tine influence, with its use of mosaic-like patterns and complex pointillismoften used to express spiritual ideas.Many of his works are inspired bymythology, Christian scriptures, currentissues and the surroundings of hisWestern Maryland home.
