The annual Simone Weil lecture is hosted by the ACU School of Philosophy.The lecture is inspired by Simone Weil&rsquo\;s ethical vision that is rooted in attentive compassion and obligation to others\, her unstinting desire for the Good\, and her non-negotiable commitment to justice.
\nThis lecture considers how we might respond morally to our rapidly changing climate. It will be shown that Ancient writers on the virtues\, in particular Plato and Aristotle\, can help us more with this issue than we might have expected\, but that there are some features of our modern situation require attention to more recent moral philosophy. \;
