Philosophy Sketches is a collection of published op-ed essays that provide philosophical perspectives on many local and current events. Some of the topics have received wide-spread attention–such as assisted suicide, the use of drones and cell-phones, human garbage, or conducting warfare. Other topics emphasize goings-on in the area, such as Baltimore’s Grand Prix race, local educators, nearby monuments and distribution of needles to prevent AIDS.
