The Primary of Ethics
Reading Group in Manchester
How do modern European philosophers challenge the way in which ethics is discussed in the world of Anglo-American philosophy? The aim of this seminar series is to explore notions of ethics at work in modern European philosophy, focusing particularly on the question of the primacy of ethics: is it, as Heidegger might be understood to claim, a discipline that comes after ontology, or, as Levinas has argued, does it occupy the place of first philosophy? One intention of the series is to encourage inter- or multi-disciplinary approached to the guiding theme of the seminar series, exploring, for example, the importance of literature to ethical reflection, or investigating the contribution of modern European philosophy to questions of race and gender.
