BHSEC Inter-Borough Philosophy Conference 2010
On January 28, philosophy students from BHSEC Manhattan and

 Queens met on the 37th floor of the Skadden Law offices in the Condé Nast Building at 4 Times Square. After weeks of planning, debate and collaboration, the vast majority of it online, students lost themselves in debating topics from 'God and Existentialism: Can both Co-exist?' to 'The Seat of Moral Worth: Intent or Action?'

The day began at 9:00 in the morning and we stayed until well past 5:00. Moderating the 9 panels were none other than Jon Leizman from BHSEC Queens, along with four BHSEC Alums, Sreeganesh Sarma, Ian Olasov, Max Lakner and Leah Hennesy.

Everyone at Skadden was incredibly helpful and considerate in helping make this conference a memorable and successful event. From the support staff (one of whom informed us that he is currently reading Plato's Republic) to our event coordinators, Michaela Best and Shannon Angelakis: all involved help us clear every logistical hurdle with grace and wit. A very special thanks is reserved for Matthew Mallow, partner at Skadden and outstanding supporter of BHSEC. Without his help this conference would never have achieved the heights and perspective afforded by such an ideal location for doing philosophy. The following pictures, graciously provided by Jonathon Levine and BHSEC alum Max Lakner, do a fantastic job of capturing the spirit and intensity of the day. Thanks again to all involved and may this be the first of many such Inter-Bard Philosophy Conferences.
