Truth and Faith in Ethics
An International Conference in Moral Philosophy When: June 2008 (24th-27th) Where: The University of Notre Dame Australia, Sydney, 104 Broadway, Broadway NSW Theme Anti-consequentialist thinking unites many philosophers with faith to many philosophers without it. Many Christian and non-Christian ethicists today share 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 . . . . . .
