Comparative Philosophy and Practical Applied Ethics. Laura Specker Sullivan (Fordham) @ Philosophy Hall, Room 716,
Apr 5 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Comparative philosophy is gaining traction in professional academic philosophy, with specialist journals, organizations, books, and public campaigns. These inroads have been made in canonical areas of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, logic, and value theory. Yet comparative philosophy still plays little role in practical applied ethics, an interdisciplinary research area in which work with practice and policy implications are dominated by the anglophone world. In this article, I explain why comparative work might be especially difficult in this type of applied ethics, and I suggest how comparative philosophers might overcome these challenges to connect their theoretical work with contemporary practical issues.

With responses from Wenqing Zhao (CUNY Baruch)
