In section 1\, I illustrate the paradoxicality of radical evil and the novelty of Kant’s “empowering” conception focused on human agency. In section 2\, I argue that radical evil entails a normative variety of unintelligibility\, signaling lack of self-knowledge and self-alienation. In section 3\, I show that the (moral) opacity of maxims does not undermine one’s awareness of the moral law\, does not prevent self and co-legislation\, and therefore does not preclude the exercise of moral agency. In section 4\, I account for the distinctive functions of hope and faith\, denying that they are complementary. In sections 5 and 6\, I argue that the reliance on hope or faith points to different modes of contrasting evil by organizing human agency in institutional forms. In section 7\, I conclude that the most powerful response to radical evil is the organization of shared agency – a communal\, ethical\, political\, and institutional enterprise. \nLocation: Online but streamed from Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-carla-bagnoli-university-of-modena-and-reggio-emilia/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250508T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250508T173000 DTSTAMP:20260613T214953 CREATED:20250207T192352Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T235308Z UID:10002415-1746720000-1746725400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Clotilde Torregrossa (58Թ) DESCRIPTION:Title: The (Aesthetic) Value of Environmental Activism \nAbstract: TBC \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-clotilde-torregrossa-st-andrews/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250515T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250515T173000 DTSTAMP:20260613T214953 CREATED:20250214T200842Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250515T235318Z UID:10002419-1747324800-1747330200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Vid Simoniti (University of Liverpool) DESCRIPTION:Title: Merely Imagined Moralities\n \nAbstract: Artworks and other cultural products (films\, novels\, operas\, pop songs\, etc.) often express heroic\, pessimistic\, melancholy\, or dark ways of looking at the world (also referred to as ‘perspectives’). Sometimes\, these worldviews appear politically inflected; we may\, for instance\, describe a work as “feminist” or “patriotic” according to the worldview it expresses. Drawing on Elisabeth Camp’s and Nelson Goodman’s work\, I propose that when artworks express worldviews\, they (i) represent sets of mental dispositions for interpreting and reacting to the real world\, and (ii) they achieve this by leading the audience to temporarily inhabit those dispositions. This view has at least two important implications: first\, it makes little sense to morally evaluate artworks for expressing worldviews\, because representing mental dispositions does not amount to endorsing them. Secondly\, the expression of worldviews through artworks and other cultural products nevertheless plays a specific\, underappreciated role in political discourse. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-vid-simoniti-university-of-liverpool/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
