Le GRIN accueille Kieran Setiya (MIT), qui donnera une présentation intitulée « Other People ».
Résumé
I will argue for the role of personal acquaintance in both love and concern for individuals, as such. The challenge is to say what personal acquaintance is and why it matters in the way it does. These questions are addressed through the work of Emmanuel Levinas. Topics include: the ethics of aggregation, the basis of moral standing, and the value of human life.
