Many Christian and non-Christian ethicists today have common concerns (eudaimonism, virtue ethics, deontological prohibitions, tradition and community, natural law and rights, human dignity.). The aim of this Conference is to bring together moral philosophers with overlapping interests working in Catholic and non-Catholic contexts. The Conference will explore such questions as: "Is mainstream moral philosophy growing closer to Catholic moral tradition or further away?" "What can Christian ethics learn from secular ethics, and vice versa?" "What difference, if any, has faith made to ethical debate and practice?" Topics: Happiness, the Good Life and Religious Commitment Moral Truth and Moral Tradition Virtue, Ethics and Faith Reason, Revelation and Morality Natural Law and Natural Rights Catholic and Non-Catholic Ethics: Commonalities and Differences And many more . . . . . .
