This 8-week long online summer programme provides a short introduction to practical ethics, looking at some of the issues that concern philosophers and the public alike today, and offering an insight in to the current research of academics at the Oxford Uehiro Centre.
Beginning with a general introduction to practical ethics, also known as applied philosophy, the series continues each Wednesday looking at the themes of Intergenerational Justice, Wild Animal Ethics, Practical Ethics and Law, The Concept and Ethics of Laziness, The Ethics of Love Drugs and Collective Minds, finishing with a wrap-up class asking what is next for practical ethics.
Registration is free, but we ask that you commit to attending at least 6 of the 8 45-minute classes which will take place online via Zoom on Wednesday lunchtimes. No prior experience or study is necessary and participation in the informal Q&As and discussion sessions following each week’s presentations is warmly encouraged.
Programme dates: 29th June - 17th August. Classes will take place 12:30-13:15 online via Zoom and will consist of a 30 minute presentation followed by a Q&A.
