SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group (MPRG)
DESCRIPTION:MPRG with Giuli Cavaliere:\nChapter Title: ‘Rescue\, Aid\, and the Challenge from Adoption’\n\nChapter Abstract: This paper examines and responds to two versions of what I refer to as the challenge from adoption. According to the first\, those who wish to have children are morally required to adopt existing children in need rather than procreate. According to the second\, the state ought not to support fertility services\, since doing so may reduce the adoption prospects of children in institutional care. I argue that neither version succeeds. In response to the first\, I show that\, under current non-ideal conditions\, adoption is not analogous to cases of easy rescue: the very features that give rise to a putative duty to adopt also make adoption exceedingly demanding in ways that the argument for such a duty cannot adequately accommodate. Under ideal conditions\, where these costs are set aside\, the deontic framework relied on by proponents of the duty to adopt remains ill-suited to appraising practices such as procreation\, parenthood\, and adoption\, because it obscures their distinctive value and flattens the moral landscape. In response to the second\, I argue that institutional duties towards children require that they be protected and supported\, but not that the state secures the best possible outcome through adoption.\nLocation: Edgecliffe 104

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person) - Matthew Vermaire (St Andrews)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Conflated Questions in the Ethics of Belief \nAbstract: It’s common to suppose that epistemology can be understood in close structural parallel with ethics: as ethics is about what to do\, epistemology is about what to believe. In this paper I draw attention to an important limit of such parallelisms: in reasoning to belief\, agents are concerned in the first instance not with what to believe but with the uniquely theoretical question of what is the case. I demonstrate the relevance this distinction in questions has for the debate between pragmatists and evidentialists in the ethics of belief\, and I suggest a compromise that I expect no one to like. \n\nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams
