Centre for Aesthetic, Moral and Political Philosophy

Description

The Centre for Aesthetic, Moral, and Political Philosophy (CAMP) supports and develops research of the highest quality in practical philosophy at large, with a particular emphasis on foundational questions about normativity, morality, aesthetics, and practical reason.

Topics of current research include:

• the nature of normativity
• analysis of normative and evaluative language and thought
• explanation and justification in normative theory
• moral and aesthetic knowledge and skepticism
• moral psychology (especially blame, moral worth, moral luck)
• moral, aesthetic, and epistemic virtue and vice
• gender and gender identity
• ethics of war and self-defence
• distributive justice

CAMP has a supportive, lively and active research environment. The centre hosts a regular fortnightly research seminar where both its members and invited speakers present work in progress. Members often organise conferences and workshops on themes related to the centre’s research specialisms, as well as the occasional wine and cheese night and research retreat!  

The centre is a basin of attraction for researchers far and wide. In addition to CAMP's core membership--comprising staff and PGRs working on a broad range of issues across value theory—it is common for visiting research fellows and staff specialising in other sub-disciplines to participate in the centre’s activities as well.
