Ethics and Political Philosophy Group Talk (Mark Schroeder, Southern California)

Jackman Humanities Building, Room 418 170 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Mark Schroeder (Southern California) works on areas of philosophy in some way connected to metaethics. He is interested in the ways in which rationality, reasons, value, and other "evaluative’" or "normative" categories are related to the mundane, physical world in which we live, in which things are round, red, or left of one another. For example, are there really facts about what is rational or not, to go along with the facts about what is round or not?

Ethics and Political Philosophy Group Talk (Daniel Muñoz, UNC)

Jackman Humanities Building, Room 418 170 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Daniel Muñoz is an assistant professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, where he also forms part of the core faculty of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program. His work mostly counts as “normative ethics,” which means it’s too concrete to be “meta,” but not concrete enough to be useful. He is writing a book called "What We Owe to Ourselves."
