[koglist] invitation to a talk by Ralph Walker on `Kant and Virtue Ethics`-7 February, 5.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Ralph Walker (University of Oxford) on `Kant and Virtue Ethics` Tuesday, 7 February, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Although some people have recognized that Kant’s moral philosophy has more in common with virtue ethics than is usually thought, it has not been appreciated how close the two are and how much Kant owes to Aristotle. Aristotle’s “practical wisdom” (phronésis) relates closely to Kant’s “respect (Achtung) for the moral law”, and something like Kantian freedom is needed to complete Aristotle’s account of “continence” (enkrateia). Kant’s theory remains in no sense consequentialist, despite some current suggestions, but it remains highly defensible.
