SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) - Matthew Liao (NYU)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Threshold Deontology: Some Lessons from Vagueness \nAbtract: Threshold Deontology is the view that the positive consequences of an act do not normally override moral constraints\, but when the positive balance of the consequences of an act is sufficiently great\, it may be morally permitted\, and possibly required to engage in an act that is otherwise morally prohibited. While many people find Threshold Deontology attractive\, there are a number of issues regarding its nature and its structure that are under explored.  For instance\, suppose that there is a threshold above which a moral constraint against killing an innocent person becomes overridden.  Where is this threshold?  How do we identify it?  In addition\, what happens after one crosses this threshold?  Does one become a full-on act-consequentialist?  Drawing on the literature on vagueness\, I shall argue that there is a sharp threshold for killing and that it is difficult for us to know where this threshold lies because in a certain range of cases\, our moral faculty is not sufficiently reliable to be able to weigh competing moral values.  I shall also explain why one does not become a consequentialist once one crosses the threshold for killing. \nLocation: Teams (online only)

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Heather Battaly (University of Connecticut)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: Can Fanaticism be a Liberatory Virtue? \nAbstract: Quassim Cassam (2022a) and Paul Katsafanas (2019) have argued that fanaticism and extremism are normatively negative concepts—characterized by\, e.g.\, perverted ideals\, vicious closed-mindedness\, and unwarranted intolerance. I suggest an alternative approach that: (i) explains what makes fanaticism and extremism vicious in the very many cases in which they are; but also (ii) allows for cases in which fanaticism and extremism aren’t liberatory-vices and may even be liberatory-virtues. My hope is that this approach might serve as a resource for those in liberatory struggles.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Thomas Hurka (University of Toronto)
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Against ‘Good For\,’ Against ‘Well-Being'”\n\nAbstract: This paper challenges the widely held view that ‘good for’\, ‘well- being’\, and related terms express a distinctive evaluative concept of central importance for ethics and separate from ‘simply good’ as used by G.E. Moore and others. More specifically\, it argues that there’s no philosophically useful good-for or well-being concept that’s neither merely descriptive in the sense of naturalistic nor reducible to ‘simply good’. The paper distinguishes two interpretations of the common claim that the value ‘good for’ expresses is distinctively ‘subject-relative’. Neither interpretation\, the paper argues\, yields a significantly distinct evaluative concept. The ethically fundamental such concept is just ‘simply good’.
