Philosophy Club Meeting Thursday, October 13

Hey all,

For this week’s meeting, Josh Fox will be leading a discussion of Tamler Sommers’ paper “The Objective Attitude.” The paper explores the ways that accepting the claim that people lack the freedom necessary for moral responsibility would change how we relate to others and to ourselves, with the aim of undermining the common fear that accepting the impossibility of moral responsibility would significantly impoverish human life. A copy of the paper can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9213.2007.487.x/pdf.

E-mail ugphilclubboard@lists.uchicago.edu if you have trouble finding a copy. The meeting will be in the South Lounge of the Reynolds Club (on the 2nd floor, across from Hallowed Grounds) from 7-8:30, as usual. Hope to see you there!

-Ajay Ravichandran
