Information on the workshop
\nConsiderations about welfare\, the value of welfare\, its distribution\, or welfare-based claims and complaints are central to moral philosophy. They are of particular concern for all philosophers who take welfare to be (at least) one source for normative reasons. Evaluative and deontic considerations about welfare provide an array of fascinating philosophical questions.
\nIt is (quite) uncontroversial that welfare has moral value and provides moral reasons\; but it is highly contested how in particular. We ought not to harm people\, but do we also ought to benefit them? Does this include future people &ndash\; even if their existence depends on our actions? And can we aggregate people&rsquo\;s welfare\, or should we limit the trade-offs between their harms and benefits?
\nOur account of welfare has implications for ethics\; but do ethical considerations also provide reasons to adopt one or another theory of welfare? What is the interaction between theories of welfare and the ethics of welfare? \;
\nSome lives are better and some are worse\; but what constitutes their prudential value? Are well-being and ill-being analogous or do they differ in structure and relevance &ndash\; and what do particular theories imply? What are the relevant underlying concepts of desire\, pleasure\, friendship\, or other objective goods on which welfare may depend?
\nThis workshop provides a forum for the discussion of those and related questions. It aims at rallying scholars of philosophy to expand our understanding in these issues\, and we hope to promote the philosophical engagement with ethics\, welfare\, and how they interact.
\n\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe are inviting submissions for talks\, which should be between 20 and 30 minutes in length. We are particularly interested in current or future research projects\, and especially welcome submissions from philosophers in an early stage of their academic career and from underrepresented groups in academic philosophy. To propose a talk\, please send an abstract of approximately 500 words as a PDF attachment to workshoponwelfare@gmail.com. The abstract should be suitable for blind review\, i.e. it should not contain any information that may identify you as the author. The deadline for submission is March 31st\, 2024. We aim to notify you about the acceptance of your paper by April 15th\, 2024.

During our conversation we offer arguments and evidence to support our claims about the topic. Unfortunately\, our argumentative exchanges are ineffective because there is not enough shared background to mutually appreciate our respective arguments and evidence. At this point it becomes apparent that our disagreement is not just a clash of beliefs: it is something deeper. We may be in a systematic and persistent disagreement rooted in contrary worldviews\, where there seems to be no mutually recognized method of resolution because we reason and analyze evidence using different frameworks or principles. These peculiar disagreements are what philosophers have called deep disagreements. Deep disagreements are central to our life\, plaguing our interactions with people pertaining to different cultures\, societies\, and social groups. Philosophers working on ethics and metaethics have paid long attention to moral disagreements\, as they have the potential to challenge the ideas of moral progress and moral realism. However\, little attention has been paid to moral deep disagreements. Because many disagreements in ethics could be thought of as deep disagreements\, it is worthy of our attention how the study of deep disagreements can help us understand disagreements in the moral realm and their possible ramifications.
\nSince its inception (Fogelin\, 1985) research on deep disagreements has relied heavily on the thought of Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Inspired by Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s last work\, On Certainty\, many authors take deep disagreements to involve clashes between hinge propositions or commitments the parties hold (Pritchard 2018\, 2021\, Ranalli 2020). Other philosophers have taken inspiration from other works of Wittgenstein to think of deep disagreements as involving different forms of life (Fogelin 1985)\, language games (Godden &\; Brenner 2010)\, or pictures (Lavorerio 2021). Moreover\, over the last decade philosophers have explored Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s work to illustrate how his insights and methods can contribute and be advantageous to existing debates in meta-ethics and moral philosophy. For example\, Fairhurst (2019\; Forthcoming)\, Hermann (2015)\, Laves (2020a\; 2020b\; Forthcoming)\, and Pleasants (2008a\; 2008b\; 2009\; 2015) have discussed the possibility of extending Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s insights in On Certainty to develop the idea of moral hinges to better explain how moral epistemic practices function. Other philosophers have set out to explore the meta-ethical implications of Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s later work to shed some light on the ontological\, semantic and epistemological presuppositions and commitments of moral disagreements (Christensen 2011\; Fairhurst 2022\; Kuusela 2018\; Forthcoming\; McDowell 1998).
\nIt seems clear\, thus\, that Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s oeuvre has the potential to inspire and inform our conceptions of deep disagreements and moral issues. However\, despite increasing interest in the study of these topics from a Wittgensteinian perspective\, there hasn&rsquo\;t been much work on what Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s thought could add to our understanding of moral deep disagreements in particular. This special issue aims to address this knowledge gap by gathering philosophers working at the intersection of Wittgensteinian philosophy\, deep disagreements and moral philosophy to discuss moral deep disagreements from a Wittgensteinian perspective. Topics include\, but are not limited to:
\n1) What are moral deep disagreements and do they display distinctive characteristics?
\n2) What theories ought to be developed to explain the epistemology of moral deep disagreements?
\n3) What are the meta-ethical implications of moral deep disagreements for\, say\, moral realism or moral relativism?
\n4) What are the ethical implications of moral deep disagreements for moral progress?
\n5) Can we develop strategies to enable constructive dialogue and/or resolve moral deep disagreements?

\nWe particularly encourage members of underrepresented groups in philosophy to submit\, including\, but not limited to: women and non-normative gender identities\, non-white philosophers\, philosophers working outside the Anglo-speaking world\, students and grad students.

In many areas of practical philosophy\, the idea of constitutive standards and norms has enjoyed increasing popularity over the last 25 years. In particular\, many philosophers have become attracted to the idea that standards of rationality and / or fundamental standards of morality can be explained in terms of norms and standards constitutive for deliberating and acting. There has been considerable variety\, though\, in how the basic constitutivist idea has been developed. In particular\, while many philosophers have appealed to constitutive aims or desires rational agents possess\, others have thought it more promising to appeal to non-teleological or procedural standards constitutive for certain kinds of activities we cannot avoid engaging in\, or for the exercise of certain rational capacities we must rely on in answering normative questions. Such kinds of approaches differ considerably with regard to explaining the rational inescapability of the moral or rational standards in question\, and presumably the prospects of an 'aim or desire constitutivism' and an 'activity constitutivism' in answering well-known objections to constitutivism - such as David Enoch's shmagency objection - are quite different.
\nIn the workshop we want to discuss which versions of constitutivism - aim or desire\, activity\, or rational capacities constitutivism\, or yet some further option - is theoretically preferable\, or whether their prospects are different for different normative domains.
\nThe workshop is hybrid\, with some speakers "zooming in". But we are happy about anyone who joins us in person in Erlangen. If you want to register\, please send an E-mail to heeringdavid@gmail.com and tell us whether you'd be joining online or in person.
\nPlease note also that there will probably a kick-off zoom talk on the evening of the 03.05.2024
\nThe event is organised by the research project 'Capacities and the Good'\, funded by the German Research Foundation. Project Number: 439616221.

\nMay 9-10\, 2024
\nBoston University
\nSome goals\, relationships\, and projects require sustained\, long-term\, resilient commitment. \; In order to achieve these goals or sustain these relationships and projects\, we have to persevere in the face of obstacles\, challenges\, and setbacks. \; When these commitments are especially robust and resilient\, we sometimes describe people as devoted to their goals\, relationships\, or projects. \; But what exactly is devotion? \; When we describe a person as \;devoted \;to some goal\, relationship\, or project\, what does this mean? \; Does devotion differ from standard forms of commitment in its intensity\, stability\, resistance to compromise\, epistemic status\, or deliberative weight?
\nWhile philosophers and psychologists have examined commitments\, resilience\, grit\, and other forms of long-term engagement with ends\, devotion remains a relatively unexplored topic. This workshop aims to explore the moral psychology of devotion. \; We are especially interested in talks that connect devotion to topics in philosophical psychology or that draw on psychological research on devotion and other forms of wholehearted commitment. \; \;Talks might focus on questions including (but not limited to): \;How should we understand devotion? \; \;Does devotion involve a form of grit? \; \;Does it require a particular epistemic stance toward the objects of devotion? \; \;Does it involve loyalty? \; Which kinds of communities\, activities\, and relationships provide opportunities for manifesting devotion? \; \;What are the different objects and forms of devotion? \; \;Are some forms of devotion more stable than others? \; Might devotion be a basic motivation in human beings? \; \;If so\, why? \; \;What are the consequences of failing to satisfy this motivation? \; \;What are the most natural targets for devotion?

At the same time\, there has not been nearly as much work done at the intersection of philosophy of religion and meta-ethics or normative theory. To help inspire more good work in this area\, Christian Miller (Wake Forest)\, Mark Murphy (Georgetown)\, and Chris Tucker (William &\; Mary) have been organizing a series of annual workshops on theistic ethics for a number of years.
\nLogistics: The eighth workshop will be held at the campus of Georgetown University. We will begin with dinner and the first paper on Thursday\, September 26 and conclude at the end of the day on Saturday\, September 28\, 2024. There will be five invited papers and four spots for submitted papers. All papers have 40 minutes for presentation and at least 40 minutes for discussion.
\nThemes: &ldquo\;Theistic ethics&rdquo\; is to be understood broadly to include such topics as divine command and divine will theories\, God and natural law\, ethics and the problem of evil\, moral arguments for a theistic being\, infused and acquired virtues\, the harms and benefits of theistic religions\, specific ethical issues in Judaism\, Christianity\, or Islam\, and many other topics as well.
\nApplying: Those interested in participating should submit an abstract of up to 750 words and a current C.V. to Mark Murphy at \;Mark.Murphy@georgetown.edu \;by \;June 1\, 2024. Word or PDF file formats only. Please prepare abstracts for anonymous review. \; For although the organizers seek to have a balanced program both in terms of topics and presenters\, the initial stage of review will be done anonymously. Submitters to a previous year&rsquo\;s workshop\, whether successful or unsuccessful\, are welcome to apply to this year&rsquo\;s workshop.
\nNotification will be made by June 17\, 2024. If your abstract is selected\, we will cover all of your expenses for the workshop\, including travel (this includes international travel). Co-authors are welcome\, but only one author&rsquo\;s expenses can be covered. You do not have to send your paper in advance of the workshop\, and it certainly can be a work in progress. \; Questions about the workshop should be sent to \;Mark.Murphy@georgetown.edu.

\nEmotions play a crucial role in shaping the quality and significance of our lives\, and have steadily come to enjoy a more prominent role in ethics. Today\, there are many competing theories of what emotions are and when they are fitting\, which in turn have implications across metaethics\, normative ethics\, and moral psychology. These developments have\, for example\, revived sentimentalist accounts of the nature of normative properties and our knowledge of them. Recent investigations into the temporal dimension of emotions have also sought to uncover when and why (if ever) grief may cease to be an appropriate response to loss\, or resentment to a wrong. Further\, innovations in the philosophy of emotions affect long-standing debates in aesthetics\, such as the paradox of painful art and the epistemic value of artworks. Theorists across feminist philosophy and philosophy of race have also drawn attention to the important ways in which one&rsquo\;s gender and race affect one&rsquo\;s emotional landscape. Yet another development is the effect of emerging research in non-Western philosophy\; these traditions offer alternative and under-discussed perspectives on the ethical importance of certain emotions.
\nThe primary aim of this conference is to take stock of the latest developments in what emotions are and their connection to long-standing questions across value theory. The papers presented will illuminate our understanding of emotions and the roles that they play in our normative lives

By virtue of what meaning mechanisms are specific terms and phrases evaluative? What are the similarities and differences between different types of evaluative terms? \;
\n \;
\nThe last twenty years have given rise to a host of new approaches to these issues. For instance\, in the discussion of predicates of personal taste\, assessment relativism has been developed to accommodate phenomena such as faultless disagreement. In metaethics\, a variety of new formal semantic and metasemantic theories have been put forth as a response to embedding problems for expressivism about moral terms. In the surging discussion of slurring terms\, socio-linguistic aspects of meaning have been appealed to in order to explain their evaluative force. The aim of the conference is to explore how such new approaches to evaluativity in language can be developed\, criticized or generalized to other evaluative domains. \;

They are of particular concern for all philosophers who take welfare to be (at least) one source for normative reasons. Evaluative and deontic considerations about welfare provide an array of fascinating philosophical questions.
\nIt is (quite) uncontroversial that welfare has moral value and provides moral reasons\; but it is highly contested how in particular. We ought not to harm people\, but do we also ought to benefit them? Does this include future people &ndash\; even if their existence depends on our actions? And can we aggregate people&rsquo\;s welfare\, or should we limit the trade-offs between their harms and benefits?
\nOur account of welfare has implications for ethics\; but do ethical considerations also provide reasons to adopt one or another theory of welfare? What is the interaction between theories of welfare and the ethics of welfare? \;
\nSome lives are better and some are worse\; but what constitutes their prudential value? Are well-being and ill-being analogous or do they differ in structure and relevance &ndash\; and what do particular theories imply? What are the relevant underlying concepts of desire\, pleasure\, friendship\, or other objective goods on which welfare may depend?
\nThis workshop provides a forum for the discussion of those and related questions. It aims at rallying scholars of philosophy to expand our understanding in these issues\, and we hope to promote the philosophical engagement with ethics\, welfare\, and how they interact.

It is a rapidly growing field of research that goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow\, Amartya Sen\, John Harsanyi\, Georg Henrik von Wright\, and others. The field has recently gained new impetus with formal work on freedom and responsibility\, welfare economics and population ethics\, deontic logic and natural language semantics\, value theory\, and the evolution of norms and conventions.

\nThe Chair for Ethics and Political Philosophy of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) is organising a Summer School with Gideon Rosen. The week-long summer school will focus on the metaphysics of morality\, with a special focus on non-naturalist moral realism: the view that moral thought and discourse are concerned with real\, mind-independent facts that are distinct from the empirical psychological and sociological facts that underly them. Topics to be discussed include the proper characterization of this view\, the main motivations for it\, and questions that arise with in it\, including questions about the explanatory structure of moral reality\, the role of moral laws in moral explanation\, the modal status of those moral laws\, and the distinctive forms of grounding that figure in them. \;One recurrent theme will be analogies (and disanalogies) between non-naturalist moral realism and other forms of dualism in recent metaphysics\, including property dualism in the philosophy of mind and platonism in the philosophy of mathematics. The seminar will be designed to expose advanced students to the most important recent work on these topics and to provide a forum for the discussion of student work on open problems.
\nApplication:
\nThe summer school is aimed at graduate students and early-career researchers. Those interested in participating should send their CV and a brief letter of motivation (max 1 page) to sarah.koeglsperger@unifr.ch.
\nThe summer school will include four sessions where participants have the opportunity to present their work-in-progress in metaethics. Those interested in presenting should send an abstract (max. 1000 words\, excluding references\, language: English) to sarah.koeglsperger@unifr.chby 01 May 2024. Abstracts should be prepared for blind-review.
\nFunding:
\nThe summer school is funded by CUSO. Expenses for PhD students (as well as a limited number of post-docs) at universities associated with CUSO (Fribourg\, Genè\;ve\, Lausanne\, Neuchâ\;tel) will be fully covered.
\nThanks to the generous support of the &lsquo\;Beyond Reductionism&rsquo\; project run by Prof. Anandi Hattiangadi (Stockholm) and Dr. Alex Moran (Fribourg) and funded by Vetenskaprå\;det (Swedish Research Council)\, the costs of those participants not affiliated with CUSO will be partially covered. Participants will have to pay a fee of CHF 575 (this fee includes meals during the summer school and four nights of accommodation). Those selected to give presentations will have their travel expenses covered.
