Le CRÉ est heureux d’accueillir Constantine Sandis, qui nous offre une communication intitulée « Action in Ethics and Art ».

Résumé:

It is said that we must hate the sin and not the sinner. But what about the sinning? This paper argues that most moral philosophy lacks a coherent notion of action. I propose an account which entails a fundamental distinction between doing the right (or wrong) thing and acting rightly (or wrongly). I next consider some tempting ways of understanding this distinction (e.g. in terms of types vs. tokens, the evaluative vs. the deontic, etc.) before concluding that the latter phenomenon – but not the former – is deeply interconnected with our motivational sets. Finally, I extend the view to questions about aesthetic evaluation.
