Webb Keane 6:00 pm The Ethical Stance and the Possibility of Critique. Webb Keane @ Wolff Conference Room, D1106 Sep 12 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets Critique is an assertion of values pitted against a state of affairs. To say that things should not be the way they are–to respond to questions such as ‘Why do I think this political or economic arrangement is wrong (and why should I care?)?’ implies an ethical stance. Critique thus draws together fact and value, domains that a long tradition of moral thought has argued exist on distinct planes. For there are dimensions of political[...]	13	14

Omri Boehm 6:00 pm The Liberal Zionism of the Future. Omri Boehm @ Wolff Conference Room, D1106 Sep 19 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets Zionists and anti-Zionists alike agree that Zionism consists in the idea that the Jewish People has the right to their own nation state. They deeply disagree about the legitimacy of such politics. Whereas anti-Zionists maintain that a Jewish State is necessarily discriminatory and even racist, Zionists tend to reject anti-Zionist arguments as anti-Semitic. I argue that both sides of this familiar debate are wrong. (Or worse: all too often, both are right.) A Jewish State[...]	20 Black Radical Kantianism. Charles Mills (CUNY) 4:00 pm Black Radical Kantianism. Charles Mills (CUNY) @ 302 Philosophy, Columbia U Sep 20 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Tickets This essay tries to develop a “black radical Kantianism” – that is, a Kantianism informed by the black experience in modernity. After looking briefly at socialist and feminist appropriations of Kant, I argue that an analogous black radical appropriation should draw on the distinctive social ontology and view of the state associated with the black radical tradition. In ethics, this would mean working with a (color-conscious rather than colorblind) social ontology of white persons and[...] Autonomy, Deference, and “Getting it Oneself” (ZIDE 自) Justin Tiwald (San Francisco State University) 5:30 pm Autonomy, Deference, and “Getting it Oneself” (ZIDE 自) Justin Tiwald (San Francisco State University) @ Columbia University Religion Dept. 101 Sep 20 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm Tickets This paper is on the topic of deliberative autonomy in (primarily) post-classical Chinese moral epistemology. By “deliberative autonomy,” I mean the epistemic state or achievement in which one’s ethical views or beliefs are those that seem right to oneself and are based on reasons or considerations that one understands for oneself. This is to be contrasted with holding a view or belief based primarily on the authority or expertise of others, without seeing for oneself[...]	21
