Greetings all,
This coming Monday, 1.00-2.30 in the philosophy common room our own
Luke Russell will talk to us about " Evil Feelings and Evil Persons"
Abstract
It is plausible that someone who is strongly and fixedly disposed to
perform
evil actions is an evil person. But what about someone who takes intense
pleasure in witnessing and contemplating extreme suffering? Can evil
feelings, independent of evil actions, be sufficient for evil
personhood?
How should we evaluate sadistic voyeurs, malevolent quadriplegics,
self-loathing perverts and unrepentant former evildoers?
See you all there...
