Details

When are we complicit in the wrongful actions of others? The question arises in a wide range of contexts such as medicine, war, climate change, human subject research, cyber security, and the law. This workshop aims to bring together international scholars, especially moral philosophers, to critically engage with one another’s work on complicity, from the purely theoretical to the highly applied.
