Robert Audi om virksomhedsetik d. 20/10

Foredrag ved SDU onsdag d. 20/10 kl. 16-18:

Robert Audi, Univ. of Notre Dame:
Når etisk ledelse er svær

Hvor skal grænsen gå for en positiv særbehandling, som i ligestillingens navn giver kvinder fortrinsret til attraktive jobs? Er det rimeligt, at en bestyrelse suverænt kan uddele bonusser efter forgodtbefindende, når vi ellers hylder demokrati og retfærdighed? Hvad er det rimeligt at markedsføre til hvem - og hvordan undgår man at skabe uheldige rollemodeller med sin reklame?

Konference 18.-19. oktober: The Nature of Belief

International Conference:
The Nature of Belief – The Ontology of Doxastic Attitudes.

University of Southern Denmark, Odense. 18-19 October 2010.

Confirmed key-note speakers:

• Robert Audi, Notre Dame
• Robert Matthews, Rutgers
• Daniel Hutto, Univ. of Hertfordshire
• Tim Bayne, Oxford.

Very diverse opinions on the nature of belief have been voiced in the recent philosophical literature. E.g. beliefs have been construed as inner assertions, behavioural dispositions, natural kind mental states, and fictional entities (not all of which are mutually exclusive categories). What should we say on the nature of belief? How should we go about deciding what to say? And what is the relevance of our answers to e.g. epistemology, ethics, the philosophy of language or the psychological explanation of human and animal behaviour? This conference aims to bring together some of the most prominent voices in the contemporary debate.
