Dear all, The next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be on Tuesday 10th February, from 2.30-4.15pm, in Sidgwick Hall, Newnham College. Our speaker is Prof Cheryl Misak (Toronto) who will be giving a talk entitled "Ramsey's Cognitivism: Ethics, Aesthetics, and the Meaning of Life" (abstract below).
There is a charge of £2 (student) or £3 (other) to attend the talk; or to buy a subscription for the rest of the academic year, it is £7.50 (student) or £15 (other). We hope to see you there! Best wishes, Matthew Simpson and Ali Boyle Cheryl Misak - "Ramsey's Cognitivism: Ethics, Aesthetics, and the Meaning of Life" : Alasdair MacIntyre and R.M. Hare assert that Ramsey was one of the modern founders of emotivism. I shall argue that this is a mistaken interpretation of Ramsey. More importantly, once we understand what Ramsey's position actually was, we can see how value judgments might be genuine beliefs aimed at truth. -- Ali Boyle and Matthew Simpson Secretaries of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge [email protected] http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/seminars-msc _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
