The virtues of character
Thursday 16 February 2012, 6.30PM
Speaker: Dr Debbie Roberts
Know Thyself Philosophy Lectures
Dr Roberts' research interests focus on metaethics, but she is also interested in other areas of philosophy that relate to this work including metaphysics, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.
Her current research focuses on thick evaluative concepts, and the nature of evaluation. In particular, she defends a non-reductive account of thick concepts. She is particularly interested in the metaphysics of the evaluative, the distinction and relation between the evaluative and the deontic, and the relation between thick and thin evaluation, and what it is for a concept or property to be evaluative. She has just started working on the nature of evaluative dependence.
