Info tab content
As I expect this to be the last time I teach a graduate seminar at Princeton, it seems a suitable occasion for a critical assessment of my work in ethics. The idea is that graduate students and some invited guests will present critiques of my work to which I will respond, followed by discussion. Topics to be covered include the foundations of ethics, utilitarianism, the ethics of our treatment of animals, our obligations to assist people in extreme poverty, and issues in bioethics, including my critique of the traditional ethic of the inviolability of human life.
