Symposium on Michael S. Moore's Causation and Responsibility

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Rutgers University School of Law-Camden

The Institute for Law and Philosophy will host a symposium on Michael S. Moore's Causation and Responsibility (Oxford, 2009) on Friday, August 27th, 2010. The conference will feature six presentations by leading figures in philosophy and law on the three fields that Moore's work explores - metaphysics, normative ethics, and law. Christopher Hitchcock (Cal Tech) and Carolina Sartorio (Arizona) will examine questions about the metaphysics of causation and responsibility; Gideon Rosen (Princeton) and Jeffrey Brand-Ballard (George Washington) will take up Moore's normative ethical theory; and Larry Alexander (San Diego) and Kimberly Ferzan (Rutgers-Camden) will assess the lessons Moore draws for law. The symposium's proceedings will be published in a special issue of The Rutgers Law Journal.
