Fourth Annual Arizona Workshop
in Normative Ethics


The Fourth Annual Arizona Workshop
in Normative Ethics will be held at the Westward Look Resort in Tucson, Arizona, from January 3 through January 5, 2013.

Normative ethical theory
addresses general questions about the right and the good and attempts to answer such questions as: What sorts of actions are right or wrong and why? What sort of person ought one to become and why? Normative ethical theories, including, for instance, versions of consequentialism, deontology, contractualism, natural law theory, and virtue ethics address such questions.

This annual Arizona Workshop features new work in normative ethical theory broadly construed, to include not only issues about the right and the good, but meta-theoretical questions about the project of developing and defending normative ethical theories.

Keynote Speakers, 2013 Workshop

Julia Annas  – Regents Professor of Philosophy, University of Arizona
Brad Hooker 
– Professor of Philosophy, University of Reading
Shelly Kagan  – Clark Professor of Philosophy, Yale University

Registration

Registration for the workshop is free. To register for the workshop, send an email to the conference organizer, Mark Timmons. 




Welcome to Tucson

Pronounced [TWO-sahn], this growing city's name is derived from the Tohono O'odham meaning "at the base of a black hill", and is commonly referred to as "The Old Pueblo." It is only 60 miles north of the Mexican border.
