On this\, all rights-theorists agree. Yet there is disagreement on whether rights also entail positive duties to protect and assist the right-holder if and when their rights are threatened. While the Interest Justification of Rights supports such positive duties (Raz 1986)\, defenders of the Inviolable Moral Status Justification of Rights reject them (Nozick 1974; Nagel 2007; Kamm 2008). On this latter view\, all persons have an inviolable moral status that gives rise to particularly robust rights and stringent negative duties\, but not additional positive duties\, which are not required to reflect persons’ inviolable moral status. This paper seeks to demonstrate that positive duties to protect and assist right-holders against rights-violations are in fact grounded by the very same justification invoked to ground the stringent rights and negative duties in the first instance: the inviolable moral status of persons. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and Teams \nContact: ceppadirector@st-andrews.ac.uk URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-111/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231109T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231109T173000 DTSTAMP:20260614T211027 CREATED:20230811T123916Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T162308Z UID:10001703-1699545600-1699551000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) – Lara Buchak (Princeton) DESCRIPTION:Title: Risk\, Ambiguity\, and Ethical Decision-Making \nAbstract: I argue that it can be rational to defer to an authority about what to believe or what to do even when doing so goes against one’s own reasoning. Indeed\, such deference is rational in typical cases in which individuals treat others as authorities: for example\, experts in a domain\, interpersonal advisors\, and religious traditions. I explain the interplay between authority\, reason\, and disagreement\, and how rational faith gives rise to epistemic communities and governs their encounters with each other. \nLocation: Teams (online only) and streamed from Edgecliffe G03.
