DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>The Ethics of Defending Yourself and What&rsquo\;s Yours Under Incomplete Information</strong></p>\n<p>14-15 April 2023</p>\n<p>Hybrid Event with in-person sessions held at the University of Zurich\, Switzerland</p>\n<p><em>Session will run from 9 am to 5 pm Central European Time on both days\, with a lunch break. There will be a mix between pre-read sessions and full presentations\, according to the speakers&rsquo\; preferences.</em></p>\n<p><strong>Organisers:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Susanne Burri\, University of Konstanz</li>\n<li>Lisa Hecht\, TU Dresden</li>\n<li>Jennifer Page\, University of Zurich</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Workshop description:</strong> Ideally\, accounts of morally permissible self-defence are action guiding: they helpfully inform our deliberation in cases where we perceive our rights to be at risk of being violated. Accounts of self-defence thus need to engage with typical scenarios in which use of defensive force might be considered. A typical type of threat is the threat to our property rights. Although every one of us is quite likely to face such a threat at some point in their lives\, little has been written about what is permissible to do in defence of one&rsquo\;s property. Moreover\, a typical feature of all self-defence scenarios is the uncertainty that almost inevitably characterizes these situations.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In this workshop\, we bring together scholars working on the ethics of self-defence to explore questions concerning the permissible defence of one&rsquo\;s property and\, more generally\, self-defence under conditions of uncertainty. We would like to invite abstracts for papers that broadly engage with these two topics. Possible questions to address include:&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Under what conditions\, if any\, is it morally permissible to defend one&rsquo\;s property with force?&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>How should we think about the proportionality of force in protection of one&rsquo\;s property?</li>\n<li>Are current laws (e.g.\, stand your ground laws in the US or duty to retreat requirements) morally appropriate?&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Are rights beyond our rights to bodily integrity and our property enforceable?</li>\n<li>Where should the line be drawn between reasonable and unreasonable defensive mistakes under conditions of uncertainty?&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>What are appropriate ways of taking into account the epistemic limitations that defensive agents face?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Keynote Speakers:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Renee Jorgensen\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kimberly Kessler Ferzan\, University of Pennsylvania</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Helen Frowe\, Stockholm University</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Victor Tadros\, University of Warwick</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Other Speakers:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>David Clark\, University of Southern California</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Leandro Dias\, Julius-Maximilians-Universit&auml\;t W&uuml\;rzburg</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Shawn Kaplan\, Adelphi University</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kida Lin\, University of Oxford</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Luciano Venezia\, National University of Quilmes and National Scientific and Technical Research Council\, Argentina\, and Eduardo Rivera Lopez\, Universidad Torcuato di Tella\, Buenos Aires</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Draft program and zoom link available on request.
