LOCATION:Cambridge\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>We invite submissions of high quality abstracts for The Limits of Duty&nbsp\;workshop to be held at the University of Cambridge.</p>\n<p>There is much contemporary research into and public interest in the duties&nbsp\;we have to others as moral agents and also to\, for example\, future&nbsp\;generations\, global poor\, animals\, compatriots\, immigrants and to ourselves.&nbsp\;Much of this current research\, however\, relies on essential but&nbsp\;under-theorised assumptions regarding the limits of duty and those actions&nbsp\;that go beyond these limits. Research into the structure and justification&nbsp\;of these limits and those acts that transcend them remains relatively&nbsp\;unexplored. &nbsp\;This workshop will bring this critical area of inquiry to the&nbsp\;fore and investigate these central questions directly.<br><br>The purpose of this workshop is primarily to foster engagement with issues&nbsp\;of supererogation\, (over)demandingness\, and the value and foundation of&nbsp\;duty\, and other issues surrounding the limits of duty broadly construed. The&nbsp\;questions that this workshop hopes to address therefore include\, but are not&nbsp\;limited to\, the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>How demanding are the requirements of morality?</li>\n<li>Are there supererogatory actions?</li>\n<li>What are the foundations of our duties?</li>\n<li>Do we need a pluralist theory of morality in order to account for our duty&nbsp\;and its limits?</li>\n<li>What is the value of our duty?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Submissions should be suitable for blind refereeing and consist in:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>An extended abstract of 500-750 words (in .doc\, .docx\, or .pdf format) of&nbsp\;a paper prepared for a 20-30 minute talk.</li>\n<li>A separate cover sheet including name (and title)\, title of paper\,&nbsp\;affiliation\, email address and contact details.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Submissions should be sent to:&nbsp\;limitsofdutyworkshop@gmail.com<br><br>Timetable:<br>Deadline for submission &ndash\; 30th April<br>Notification of acceptance &ndash\; 6th of May<br>Optional pre-circulation deadline* - 7th of June (*We encourage authors to&nbsp\;submit full papers to be pre-circulated to workshop participants\, but this&nbsp\;is optional and there will be no obligation to do so)<br>Workshop &ndash\; 14th of June</p>\n<p>If you would like to join our mailing list\, please go to<br>https://lists.cam.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/ucam-limits-of-duty<br><br>If you have any questions\, please contact Claire Benn or Amanda Cawston<br>(workshop organisers) at:&nbsp\;limitsofdutyworkshop@gmail.com</p>\n<p>Workshop website:<br><br></p>
