CALL FOR ABSTRACTS \;

RIGHTS\, RESPECT\, AND WELL-BEING

Organizers: \;
Micha Glä\;ser (micha.glaeser@philos.uzh.ch)
Simon Ewers (simonfranz.ewers@philos.uzh.ch)

Both affiliated with:
University of Zurich\, Department of Philosophy\, SNSF Research Project "Grounding \;Rights"

Date: \;
October 7&ndash\;8\, 2022

Venue: \;
Center for Ethics\, University of Zurich\, Switzerland

Overview:
"Right\," "Well-Being\," and "Respect" are quite fundamental concepts in academic ethics\, \;public discourse\, and commonsense morality alike. They are fundamental in that they are \;nigh impossible to avoid when deliberating or discussing what we ought to do and what we \;owe to each other. Accordingly\, getting a firm grip on the nature of rights\, respect\, and \;well-being and how they are related seems vital.

The workshop will be focused \;particularly \;on exploring the interrelations of the parts to \;this triad:

&bull\; Is respect for persons the same thing as respect for their rights (Feinberg's intriguing \;idea)? &bull\; Is disrespect necessarily bad for us? &bull\; Are there any harmless wrongs? &bull\; Are all rights grounded in or justified by interests? &bull\; Do rights in turn ground further interests? &bull\; Is there\, or can there be\, a right to be respected? &bull\; Do rights secure the means for the pursuit of one's own well-being?  \; We welcome any abstracts looking into these or similar questions\, as well as inquiries into \;one of the concepts in isolation.

Format:
The workshop will be held in a presentation &\; discussion format. To allow for longer talks \;and in-depth discussion\, each participant will be assigned a 90 min. slot (about 45 min. for \;presentation and discussion each).

Funding:
In general\, travel and accommodation costs \;will not be covered. However\, we may be able to provide some financial support based on \;need. Please contact us for further information.

Submission Guidelines:
We invite early-career philosophers\, defined as Ph.D. candidates and those who obtained \;their Ph.D. within the last 7 years\, to submit an abstract by \;July 15\, 2022. Abstracts should be written \;in English\, anonymized\, not exceed 1\,000 words\, and be sent in .pdf format to \;simonfranz.ewers@philos.uzh.ch. We are aiming to make our selection and communicate our decision by the end of July. \;

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
