O filósofo Thomas Scanlon (Harvard) ministrou a Guelph Lecture na Universidade de Guelph (Canada). O título da palestra é "What's morality?" e retoma as teses de Scanlon sobre a objetividade de nossos padrões morais. Scanlon desenvolveu de maneira sistemática o tema em suas Locke Lectures (Oxford) de 2009 - o livro será publicado ano que vem como Being Realistic About Reasons, mas os manuscritos já se encontram disponíveis.
Thomas Scanlon: "What's Morality?"
Abstract: Why should we care about whether what we do is right or wrong? What are the costs of caring, or not caring, about this? The lecture will discuss possible answers to these questions, with reference to Herman Melville's story, ‘Bartleby the Scrivener’, seen as a story about the failure of moral communication.
