Luara Ferracioli (Amsterdam): Family reunification schemes and liberal neutrality: a dilemma

Other

Those who believe that liberal states have a right to exclude prospective immigrants also believe that citizens should be able to invite romantic partners and family members to join them as new members of the state (as part of so-called family reunification schemes).

Nicholas DiBella (Stanford): The World Is (Almost Surely) a Strange Place

Other

Are simpler metaphysical theories more likely to be true than more complex theories? Many have thought that they are. Others have stayed silent on the question of likelihood but have argued that we ought to favor simplicity in our theories for various practical reasons. In this talk, I wish to…

Massimo Renzo (Warwick): Duties of Citizenship and Just War

Other

Just war theory is currently dominated by two positions. The standard view, reflecting current international law and formulated in the classic work of Michael Walzer, is that combatants both on the just and the unjust side have the same moral status (i.e. the same moral rights, duties, immunities…

Yoaav Isaacs (Princeton): Duty and Knowledge

Other

How should a deontologist make decisions in light of his or her deontological scruples? It is surprisingly difficult to find a decision theory which suits a deontological ethic. I will argue (God help me) that a deontologist's best option is a knowledge-first decision theory. I will develop the…
