Dear all, The Moral Sciences Club's next meeting will be held on Tuesday 29th November. We are delighted to welcome Professor Lucy O'Brien (UCL), who will be giving a talk entitled "Shameful Self-Consciousness". Here is the abstract:
"Two ideas structure the literature on shame. One is the idea that when we feel shame we construe ourselves as having failed to meet the demand of one’s own personal ethics and ideals. The other is that shame is occasioned by no more consciousness of oneself as exposed to another. In this talk I argue that we need not choose between these ideas. I go on to propose a view of shame on which it is a form of consciousness of oneself as being expelled or degraded by the social group of which one is a part." The meeting will be held at 2:30 until 4:15, in the Barbara White Room at Newnham College, and will be followed by tea and coffee. For those who have not yet paid, there is a yearly membership fee of £7.50 for students and £15 for others, or a one-off fee of £3 (£2 for students).
