Moral Change Dynamics, Normativity, and Metaphors
Workshop hosted by the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge, UK The 15th of May 2019, Venue: Trinity College Junior Parlour Change is one of the most striking features of moral frameworks, and it has challenged thinkers for thousands of years. In the fields of anthropology, philosophy and jurisprudence especially two aspects of moral change are in focus in contemporary thinking. The first is the dynamics creating and leading to moral changes. They are often investigated with the aim of explaining these changes and the hope of enabling us to create future moral progress. The second is the various issues of normativity arising from moral change. This can entail discussions of the possibility of moral critique, moral evaluation and moral progress. However, moral change as such has remained under-theorized. An important task for future research is thus to discuss which metaphors and conceptualizations are apt for understanding the phenomena. Our hope is that attention to moral changes in the rich contexts of actual life combined with interdisciplinary theoretical discussions of the nature of moral change will prove a fruitful way forward. The workshop Moral Change provides a venue for discussions of all aspects of moral change and thinkers from anthropology, philosophy and jurisprudence will present their research.
