The Ethics of Disagreement (20th Annual CRC-CPPE Fall Ethics Symposium)

Debates about morality, especially those regarding social issues concerning justice and public policy, are worryingly polarized. We tend to refuse to engage with people occupying different points of view, dismissing them as either stupid or evil. Our speakers this year address the view that moral and political disagreements are acceptable, even valuable, and the further view that it is better for us to engage with those with whom we disagree. Our symposium will attend to the principles that should guide us in thinking about moral and political disagreement and how best to approach it.

This event is free and open to the general public.
