SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Agent-Focused Moral Realism: Zhu Xi's Virtue Ethics Approach to Virtue Ethics” by Prof. Huang Yong\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/96271731725 \nPassword: 281163 \n  \nAbstract \nThe Moral realism is normally considered to consist of two theses: (1) (a) moral propositions can be true or false\, and (b) at least some of them are true\, and (2) their truth depends upon moral properties or facts that are mind-independent in a relevant sense. Moral realism\, according to a well-known distinction\, can be naturalistic\, regarding moral properties and facts as natural ones\, or non-naturalistic\, regarding them as non-natural ones; according to a less-known\, it can be action-focused\, primarily concerned with the moral properties of rightness and wrongness of the action\, or agent-focused\, taking the moral properties of the goodness and badness of the agent as its primary concern. Combining these two classifications\, we may have (1) non-naturalistic action-focused moral realism\, (2) non-naturalistic agent-focused moral realism\, (3) naturalistic action-focused moral realism\, and (4) naturalistic agent-focused moral realism. In this talk\, drawing on Zhu Xi’s work\, I shall argue for and defend the 4th variety of moral realism. \n  \nBio \nYong Huang\, Ph.D in Philosophy (Fudan University) and Th.D in Religious Studies (Harvard University)\, is currently a professor and chairperson of Department of Philosophy\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Small Atomes of Themselves a World May Make” by Prof. Claudio Calosi\, University of Geneva\, Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/94886729254 \nPassword: 450351 \n  \nAbstract \nAtomism is the thesis that everything is ultimately composed of atoms. Typically\, this thesis is characterized by an axiom stating\, more simply\, that everything has atomic parts. In the talk I argue that the success of this standard characterization crucially depends both on how the notion of sum and composition are defined. In particular\, I put forward a novel definition of mereological sum such that: (i) is not equivalent to extant definitions in the literature\, provided no strong decomposition principle is assumed; (ii) can be used to claim that the standard characterization of atomism fails in that having atomic parts is not sufficient to be the sum of atoms; and (iii) delivers a purely mereological distinction between structured and unstructured wholes\,  (iv) accounts for cases of hierarchical composition. \n  \nBio \nClaudio Calosi is an Assistant Professor at the University of Geneva\, where he leads the project: The Metaphysics of Quantum Objects. He held various research positions at Oxford\, Leeds\, UNAM to mention the most recent ones. He specializes in metaphysics\, philosophy of physics and philosophical logic. He dresses in black.
