DESCRIPTION:<p>The proliferation of recent work on partial aggregation suggests a number of open questions\, including the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>What justifies partial aggregation? Is partial aggregation consistent or does it collapse into either full aggregation or skepticism about aggregation?&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>How might moral aggregation be reconciled with individualist moral theory? What makes a moral theory &ldquo\;individualist&rdquo\; in the relevant sense? What is the best formulation of the so-called &ldquo\;individualist restriction&rdquo\;?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What are moral claims\, and how do they relate to reasons? What does it take for claims to be relevant to each other or to one&rsquo\;s decision? How should claims be balanced\, added up\, cancelled\, or otherwise combined?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What do we expect from a theory of partial aggregation? How should we assess a theory&rsquo\;s extensional adequacy and its explanatory power?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Do moral and political philosophy call for distinct theories of moral aggregation\, or will a unified account suffice? How does moral aggregation bear on public policy?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>How does interpersonal moral aggregation intersect with issues relating to risk\, or to intrapersonal prudential aggregation?</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p>We invite contributions on all of the above\, and on partial aggregation more generally\, for a panel on Partial Aggregation at MANCEPT Workshops. Confirmed participants include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Campbell Brown</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Emma Curran</li>\n<li>\n<p>Tomi Francis</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>&nbsp\;Alex Voorhoeve</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>&nbsp\;Erik Zhang</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Submissions should be suitable for 30 minutes of presentation + 30 minutes of Q&amp\;A. Please send your abstract (500-800 words)&nbsp\; to partialaggregation@gmail.com by 22 April 2025. We will get back to you with a decision by early May.</p>\n<p>The Workshops will take place at the University of Manchester\, from 3rd to 5th September 2025. Participants must pay fees for registration and dinner (&pound\;295 + &pound\;40 for academics and &pound\;165 + &pound\;25 for graduate students)\, but PhD student participants can apply for a bursary.
