Dear All, The next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be held tomorrow (Tuesday 12 November). We are delighted to welcome Kenny Walden (Dartmouth), who will be giving a talk entitled 'Agency and Genius'. The abstract for the talk is as follows.
The nature of agency places two demands on us, one of creativity and another of intelligibility. But these demands are in tension: the most straightforward ways of satisfying one clash with the other. I analogize this tension to one that characterizes artistic production and suggest that its resolution is found in the mysterious capacity that Kant calls "genius". The meeting will be held from 2:30 until 4:15 in Sidgwick Hall at Newnham College, and will be followed by tea and coffee. If you would like to have dinner with the speaker in the evening following the talk, please email the secretaries of the club (mscsecretar...@gmail.com) by midday today. This dinner is open to anyone who has attended the talk and those who sign up for dinner will be notified of the details closer to the time. Best wishes, -- Alex Horne, Roxane Noel and Zoe Walker Secretaries of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge msc...@hermes.cam.ac.uk 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: https://lists.cam.ac.uk/pipermail/phil-events/ Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
