Professor Way’s areas of specialization are in ethics and epistemology, broadly construed.

He will talk on “The Distinctiveness of Fittingness” (co-authored with Conor McHugh).

3:15 pm - 5:00 pm

Prof. Wolf will discuss similarities and differences between aesthetic and moral responsibility and speculate on what a consideration of aesthetic responsibility tells us about both responsibility and humanity.
