Tucson: 7-9 January 2010 | CFP: 1 June 2009
Mark Timmons (Arizona) is organising a workshop on normative ethics to be held in Tucson on 7-9 January 2010. Keynote speakers are Thomas Hill (UNC), Peter Railton (Michigan), and Holly Smith (Rutgers). From the website:
The First Annual Arizona Workshop in Normative Ethics takes place at the Westward Look Resort in Tucson, Arizona, from January 7 to January 9, 2010. Normative ethical theory addresses general questions about the right and the good and attempts to answer such questions as: What sorts of actions are right or wrong and why? What sort of person ought one to become and why? Normative ethical theories, including, for instance, versions of consequentialism, deontology, contractualism, natural law theory, and virtue ethics address such questions. The annual Arizona Workshop will feature new work in normative ethical theory broadly construed, to include not only issues about the right and the good, but meta-theoretical questions about the project of developing and defending normative ethical theories.
Those who wish to present a paper at the workshop must submit a 2-3 page abstract (double spaced pages please) by June 1, 2009. Please send abstracts by email to Mark Timmons. There is a limit of one submission per person. All abstracts will be evaluated by a program committee. Notification of accepted abstracts will be made by July 1, 2009. Those who will be presenting are asked to submit their papers by December 20, 2009 for purposes of making them available in advance of the workshop. Speakers will be given thirty minutes to summarize their paper, followed by open discussion. Pending external review, papers presented at the workshop will be published in the first volume of Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics. Thus only submissions of abstracts for papers that are not committed for publication elsewhere will be considered. Authors agree to have their papers ready for external review by April 1, 2010.
Registration for the workshop is free. To register for the workshop, send an email to the conference organizer, Mark Timmons.
