Keynote Speakers:
Before the next term and the next series of research seminars begins, the Centre fills in the meantime with a series of reading meetings.
The first session will deal with Henry Richardson's paper "Moral Entanglements: Ad Hoc Intimacies and Ancillary Duties of Care".
Anyone interested in the terrifying ways in which we become, despite our better judgment, morally entangled in other people's lives is welcome to join the reading group this Wednesday (January 17th) at 4pm in the Centre headquarters (room No. 06023).
We warmly welcome Hugo Strandberg, the newest member of our team. Hugo is associate professor of philosophy at Åbo Akademi University, Finland. Originally he comes from Sweden, and he earned his doctorate at Uppsala University in 2005. His previous research mostly concerns moral philosophy, particularly moral psychology, and philosophy of religion. At the Centre his research will focus on the concept of forgiveness, as a way of entering discussions in moral philosophy and political philosophy from a different angle."
This week on the Centre's research seminar, Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon will talk about "Moral Injury and the Turn to Theology." All are welcome!
