On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Description: The event is inspired by the new Wellcome-funded Antitheses Platform for Transformative Inclusivity in Ethics and Humanities.
“Disagreeing on ethical questions is an important part of philosophical ethics, whether at the level of metaethics, normative theory, or applied ethics. I shall look back over some of the disagreements I have had on ethical questions at each of these levels, and reflect on which kinds of disagreements have been fruitful, and which have not” Peter Singer
Speaker: Peter Singer is one of the most influential, but also controversial philosophers of the last century, widely known for his work in the areas of animal ethics (Animal Liberation, 1975, last edition 2023 ), the ethics of charitable giving (The Life You Can Save, 2009 ), and practical ethics more generally (Practical Ethics 1979, last edition 2011). Disagreement has been a constant feature of his career both at the level of theoretical investigation and in his own personal experience.
