DESCRIPTION:<p>What is the relationship between normative ethics and scientific research on moral judgment and decision-making? What potential is there for drawing ethical implications from such empirical investigations? While questions in this area have received considerable attention lately\, the discussion so far has been largely dominated by two opposing scepticisms: scepticism about the relevance of empirical research to ethics\, and scepticism about the value of &lsquo\;traditional&rsquo\; moral theory. This workshop aims to go beyond such outright scepticism by investigating different ways in which empirical research might impact on normative ethics. The focus will be on philosophical reflection\, whether critical or constructive\, rather than on simply showcasing the latest scientific research.</p>\n<p><strong>Programme</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday\, 17 July</strong></p>\n<p>9.00 &ndash\; 9.45 &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;Registration and coffee</p>\n<p>9.45 &ndash\; 11.00&nbsp\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Antti Kauppinen (Trinity College Dublin): &ldquo\;Skepticism About Moral Intuitions&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>11.00 &ndash\; 11.30&nbsp\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\; Coffee break</p>\n<p>11.30 &ndash\; 12.45&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Maureen Sie (Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam): &ldquo\;Science\, Responsibility &amp\; The Traffic Participation View on Human Agency&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>12.45 &ndash\; 2.00&nbsp\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Lunch</p>\n<p>2.00 - 3.15 &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Alex Voorhoeve (London School of Economics): &ldquo\;When Can('t) We Trust Our Moral Intuitions in Distributive Cases?&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>3.15 - 3.45 &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Coffee break</p>\n<p>3.45 - 5.15 &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Kwame Anthony Appiah (Princeton University): &ldquo\;Accepting our natures.
