PCT12: Moral Psychology


About

Our working group's goal is to bring together philosophers whose work focuses on the complex relations between values and mind for fruitful interaction and discussion. We are open to traditional as well as empirical approaches to the subject.

Collaborative Goals

We aim to advance scholarly discussion of several topics in moral psychology. To this end, we will host a workshop to discuss four papers and a lecture for students, faculty, and members of the public. Last year, we discussed topics such as mindfulness, hope and aspiration, harm, and epistemic and moral blame, and Lorraine Besser, of Middlebury College, gave a lecture entitled, "The Phenomenology of Well-Being."
