Formal Ethics 2017 International Conference

Wednesday 21 June 2017

Formal Ethics applies tools from logic, decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory to the analysis of concepts in moral and political philosophy and to the development of ethical theory. It is a rapidly growing field of research which goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, John Harsanyi, Georg Henrik von Wright and others. The field has recently gained new impetus with formal work on non-classical logic, freedom and responsibility, value theory and the evolution of norms and conventions. It now includes contributions not only from philosophy, but also from economics, computer sciences and linguistics.

Public lecture - The Problem of Suffering: A Thomistic Approach - FULLY BOOKED

Thursday 26 January 2017

Can one hold, consistently with the common view, that there is an omniscient, omnipotent, perfectly good God? In this lecture, Professor Stump will present and defend the theodicy of Thomas Aquinas as a representative medieval account of the world and God's reasons for allowing suffering in it. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS LECTURE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED
