The debate on > whether or not moral experts exist has tended to conflate at least three > different ways in which someone might be thought to be a moral expert. My > primary thesis in this essay is that there are moral experts. Further, there > are at least three distinct forms moral expertise can take: there is the > expert judger, who does a better job of arriving at true moral judgments, the > expert practitioner, who acts morally well more than others, and the expert > in moral analysis who has greater than normal insight into the nature of > morality (in some respect). In supporting these claims, I will make use of an > analogy between language and morality. Such an analogy has been employed in > discussing other features of moral- ity, and it has a good deal of intuitive > appeal. My view is that it can also shed light on the (at least) three ways > in which one can be a moral expert." - Julia Driver, Moral Expertis > Find the paper here: https://cam.ldls.org.uk/lsidyv8d849c6f > <https://cam.ldls.org.uk/lsidyv8d849c6f> > > +++ > > The discussion groups of the Immoral Sciences club are designed to shed light > on interesting and important papers by women philosophers which however > haven't made it into the facutly's recognition and reading list. > > This event is open to everyone, regardless which subject, year/level or > gender! > Hope to see many of you there :) > >
