The ANU School of Philosophy will be hosting a symposium on Professor Garrett Cullity’s new book “Concern, Respect and Cooperation” (Oxford University Press, 2018).

The Symposium will be held on Friday, 5 July from 9am – 5pm in seminar room 3.02, Sir Ronald Wilson building.

Three things often recognized as central to morality are concern for others’ welfare, respect for their self-expression, and cooperation in worthwhile collective activity. When philosophers have proposed theories of the substance of morality, they have typically looked to one of these three sources to provide a single, fundamental principle of morality – or they have tried to formulate a master-principle for morality that combines these three ideas in some way. This book makes the case for viewing them instead as three independently important foundations of morality.

Speakers will include Associate Professor Katie Steele, School’s Academic Visitors Professors Nomy Arpaly and Krister Bykvist and the author of the book ‘Concern, Respect and Cooperation’, Professor Garrett Cullity from the University of Adelaide.
