The methodological assumption that underlies the architecture of the Republic is that philosophical questions about topics that we might today group under the heading of ‘moral psychology’–descriptive and normative questions about the workings of the human psyche–cannot be separated from questions of political philosophy. I argue that Plato was right to think that you cannot theorize the soul without at the same time theorizing the city\, and vice versa. I go on to ask: what happens if we retain the idea that there is a profound methodological insight embedded in the city-soul analogy\, but\, unlike Plato\, we want to defend democracy as the best form of government? How might that democratic aspiration interact with our ways of thinking about the soul\, or the self? \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-daniela-dover-ucla/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250320T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250320T153000 DTSTAMP:20260612T180228 CREATED:20250204T192332Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250316T213811Z UID:10002406-1742481000-1742484600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION:Reading: tbc \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-179/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250320T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250320T153000 DTSTAMP:20260612T180228 CREATED:20250317T213808Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250320T213903Z UID:10002425-1742481000-1742484600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION:Reading:  Jessica Isserow and Colin Klein ‘Hypocrisy and Moral Authority’\, Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy 12 (2):191-222 (2017) \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-191/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250320T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250320T173000 DTSTAMP:20260612T180228 CREATED:20250131T185311Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250320T213903Z UID:10002394-1742486400-1742491800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Tom Sinclair (Oxford) DESCRIPTION:Title: Hypocrisy as Evasion \nAbstract: Hypocrites attract moral condemnation and are widely thought to lack standing to criticise others. This paper argues against attempts to explain this that appeal to moral conditions on blaming and notions of moral authority\, proposing instead an account based on a conception of moral interactions as fundamentally dialogical in character. According to this account\, blame is just one of many tools of moral exchange whose proper use is the building of a shared moral world of mutually acknowledged responsibilities. The hypocrite misuses these tools\, and this both generates a basic moral objection to hypocrisy that is prior to the more specific objections highlighted by other accounts and explains the hypocrite’s loss of standing. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-tom-sinclair-oxford/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250327T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250327T153000 DTSTAMP:20260612T180228 CREATED:20250204T192332Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250323T215310Z UID:10002407-1743085800-1743089400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION:Reading: tbc \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-180/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250327T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250327T153000 DTSTAMP:20260612T180228 CREATED:20250324T215309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250327T215310Z UID:10002427-1743085800-1743089400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION:Reading: Crisp\, Roger\, and Christopher Cowton. “Hypocrisy and Moral Seriousness.” \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-192/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250327T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250327T173000 DTSTAMP:20260612T180228 CREATED:20250131T185311Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250327T215310Z UID:10002395-1743091200-1743096600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Katherine Snow (Princeton) DESCRIPTION:Title: Revisiting the Spinoza Controversy in an age of Environmental Crisis\n \nAbstract: Modern scientific naturalism arguably tries to ontologically describe or account for the entirety of the natural world using necessity. Scientific naturalism presents logical causal necessity as constituting how nature “makes” things exist\, and it presents necessity in the more general or abstract sense as the only principle or idea at the core of what nature is supposed to be. Where did this practice arise in its current form\, how legitimate is it\, and how does this practice matter for the contemporary environmental crisis? In this talk\, I will propose answers to all three of these questions which draw on my reading of the so-called “Spinoza Controversy” of 1785-1812. Among other aspects of this vital dispute\, the Controversy essentially presented the West with a choice vis-à-vis the external non-human world. On the one side were those embracing a new\, monist\, semi-secularized “naturalism” based on neo-Spinozist ideas of nature as an intelligible and necessary whole. On the other side\, skeptics like Friedrich Jacobi denied that such an idea of nature could ever be anything more than an internalist fiction. Of particular relevance to our environmental crisis today\, Jacobi further quite presciently argued that the neo-Spinozist position automatically engaged in a kind of active nihilism with respect to the real external world of our direct experience.
