An Alternative Approach to Normative Ethics - Michael Smith (Princeton University)

On Thursday 31 March, Michael Smith will present on "An Alternative Approach to Normative Ethics".

Abstract: Constitutivism, a metaethical theory, entails a normative ethical theory that is in some ways similar to and in other ways different from the theories that are currently on offer in normative ethics, theories like commonsense morality, consequentialism, contractualism, virtue ethics, and particularism. The main aim of the talk is to explain some of these similarities and differences with a view to evaluating the overall plausibility of the alternative approach to normative ethics constitutivism recommends.
