CFA: 1st CNY Moral Psychology Workshop

[John Monteleone]

The 1st CNY Moral Psychology Workshop will be held at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY on May 25, 2019. The workshop has been generously funded by a grant from the Mellon CNY Humanities Corridor. It will feature 4-5 papers in progress in an informal, seminar-style format, and each paper will be followed by a short commentary and discussion.

The papers could be on any area of moral psychology, but possible topics include the nature of morally relevant mental states, moral motivation, the virtues, irrationality and moral failures, subjective theories of value, and moral responsibility. The papers could approach these topics through contemporary arguments and issues, or by considering the work of one or several historical figures.

To be considered for the 2019 workshop, please submit a 500-600 word abstract through the Workshop’s website (https://sites.google.com/lemoyne.edu/cnymoralpsychology/1st-workshop-2019). Abstracts are due by Jan. 15. Authors will be notified by Feb. 7, and will be asked to circulate drafts of their papers around the first week of May.

Please forward this info to any philosophers you think may be interested.
