How Should We Reason? Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives

Ort: LMU München , 12.10.2023 bis: 13.10.2023

According to a long-standing insight going back to Hume, the normative and the descriptive are distinct in kind, so that it is wrong to conclude “is” from “ought” or vice versa. And yet, in a variety of contexts, the normative and the descriptive seem to be closely intertwined in many ways. Accordingly, the relationship between the two is as yet poorly understood. This is detrimental not only to...

Call for Papers of Moral Philosophy and Politics (MOPP)

Special Issue: Relational Equality and Migration

One of the most important objections to border control is the charge that it is deeply inegalitarian (Carens, Shachar). Standardly, this point has been pressed as an argument... 

Kant, race, and racism: understanding and reckoning

Ort: , Veranstalter: Rivista di estetica 3/2024

This special issue is scheduled to appear in 2024, the 300th anniversary of Kant’s birth. We believe that it is important to continue to address Kant’s account of race and his racist remarks even during this important celebration year.

 

The issue of race appears at various points in Kant’s writing. Famously, he dedicated three texts to developing a theory of human... 

Special Issue 'Longtermism: Philosophical Questions'

Ort: , Veranstalter: Moral Philosophy and Politics, Guest Editor: Stefan Riedener (Zürich)

Longtermism is the view that positively influencing the long-term future is a – or perhaps the – key moral priority of our time (see e.g. MacAskill, What We Owe the Future).  The standard argument for this view is simple: the long-term future might concern the fate of enormously many beings; these beings matter morally (at least roughly) as much as we or our contemporaries do; and we... 

Moral Theory and Future Generations

Ort: München , 19.11.2023 bis: 20.11.2023

Although the study of the moral significance of future generations is relevant for a great number of philosophical subdisciplines, the debate is broken up into many different strands with little interaction between them. We aim to bring these strands together by adopting an open and encompassing perspective that views the moral problems regarding the ethics of future generations as a unified complex...

Ort: LMU München , 13.09.2023 bis: 15.09.2023

Die Rezension gilt noch immer als eine der wichtigsten Textformen in den Feuilletons. Beson­ders dann, wenn sich Zeitungen mit wissenschaftlicher Philosophie auseinandersetzen, ge­schieht das häufig in Form von Sachbuch-Rezensionen. Die Autor:innen solcher Rezensionen kommen manchmal selbst aus der Wissenschaft, denn so wollen die Feuilletons dafür sorgen, dass ausreichend Fachwissen vorliegt....
