Dear all, David Bakhurst (Queens University) will be speaking at the next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club with a talk titled *Practice, Sensibility and Moral Education*. The abstract for this talk is below:
*I shall begin by characterizing the style of moral philosophy that emerged in the mid-1970s in the writings of John McDowell and David Wiggins and consider whether their approach broadens or narrows the horizons of moral philosophy. Though McDowell’s notorious quietism might suggest the latter, I will argue that Wiggins offers a more expansive vision. I shall examine various ways in which the view might be developed – considering, for example, the work of Jonathan Dancy and Alice Crary – before turning to a discussion of moral education that, I hope, exemplifies the “meet” between philosophical reflection and moral life to which Wiggins aspires. * The meeting will be held on Tuesday the 17th from 2.30 until 4.15 in the Barbara White room in Newnham College. The meeting will be followed by tea and coffee in the philosophy faculty. For those who have not yet paid, there is a yearly membership fee of £7.50 for students and £15 for others (alternatively, students can pay a one-off fee for the meeting of £2 and others can pay a one-off fee of £3). These fees can be paid online (at the following link: http://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=1&catid=75&prodvarid=87) or in cash on the day. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
