2018 Faculty Summer Seminar "Things That Matter: Obstacles and Pathways for Ethics in the Real World" May, 8th - 11th. The Center for the Study of Ethics is pleased to announce the 2018 Ethics Across the Curriculum Faculty Summer Seminar with guest scholars Elaine Englehardt and Michael Pritchard. This is a seminar about moral hope. Despite the plethora of moral failures we encounter in commerce, politics and in personal lives, most of these failures are either unnecessary or could be handled more appropriately. Often they do not arise from the deliberate intention to do harm, but from our not thinking carefully or clearly enough about what we are doing. This can take the banal form of blind obedience to some form of institutional or organizational authority, which may be presumed to release us from responsibility for the consequences of our own actions and judgments. |
