2nd Essen Metaethics Workshop (MetaEssen II)

The second Essen Metaethics Workshop (MetaEssen II) will be held at the Department of Philosophy, University of Duisburg-Essen, on the 27th of April 2018 (room S05 T05 B01).

Our goal with MetaEssen is to provide a forum for philosophers, especially more junior philosophers in or around Europe, to share new work in a congenial environment on a topic of recent interest concerning the nature of ethics, understood broadly to include familiar metaethical questions on the metaphysics, epistemology, semantics, and psychology of normativity, but also less familiar questions where the boundaries between metaethics and normative ethics might be less sharp. The format will involve extensive discussion of pre-read papers.

The topic of MetaEssen II is “Fittingness in Ethics”.

 
Program: 

10-12: Richard Yetter Chappell (York), “Fittingness Objections to Consequentialism" 

12-14: Lunch

14-16: Robert Cowan (Glasgow), “Fittingness and the Epistemology of Emotion"

The workshop is organized by Hichem Naar and Neil Roughley. It is free and open to the public. For further information and registration, please send an email to [email protected]  

On registering, you will receive the papers to be pre-read.
