Hi everyone,

This week's speaker in the University of Sydney Philosophy Seminar Series is Brian Garrett, (ANU)

The title of the talk is "Remarks on Causation". Here is an abstract for the talk:

Drawing on ideas of Max Black and Michael Dummett, I outline two models of preventable backwards causation. One of these models exhibits a pre-emption structure, the other doesn’t. I then argue that agents have a reason to bring about past events on the second model but not on the first

Week 7, Apr 15

Subject: University of Sydney Philosophy Seminar Series, Jack Hume, (King's College London)

Hi everyone,

This week's speaker in the University of Sydney Philosophy Seminar Series is Jack Hume, (King's College London)

The title of the talk is "Fairness and Value in Conservation". Here is an abstract for the talk:

Forests, species, languages, artefacts. Many parts of our world are at risk of being lost forever. With limited resources and no shortage of things worth saving, how should we allocate resources, and decide what to do? I draw on a series of case studies to help us think through what fairness requires in conservation. I argue that prominent accounts in the literature have adopted an overly proceduralist approach, that fails to account for the value of truth, justice, and the environment. I develop a substantive approach that can accommodate these values, and defend it against objections of paternalism.

The seminar will take place at 4:00pm on Wednesday Apr 15 in the Philosophy Seminar Room (N494).
