Chapel Hill Metaethics Workshop

This is a small read-ahead research workshop to discuss works in progress. We will be discussing papers by

• Robert Johnson, “Principles First”
• Kathryn Lindeman, “The Normative Authority of Agency”
• Zoë Johnson King, “Caring is Good”
• Sarah McGrath, “(What) is moral experience? (What) do we want it to be?” and
• Peter Railton, “Agency and Learning”.

Other out-of-town participants include Caroline Arruda, Alisabeth Ayars, Selim Berker, Sarah Buss, Ian Cruise, Jamie Dreier, Chris Howard, Alexandra King, Connie Rosati, Eric Samson, Matty Silverstein, Keshav Singh, and Christine Tiefensee.

Each session will be 1.5 hours, starting off with a brief reminder of the main line of argument from the author, but mostly given over to discussion.  Wrapped around the sessions are less formal opportunities for the discussion to continue, including dinners on Friday and Saturday nights.

Sponsored by the UNC Philosophy Department, and the Institute for Arts and Humanities.
