Dear all, The next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be held on Tuesday 24th October. We are delighted to welcome John Filling (Cambridge), who will be giving a talk entitled 'On Structural Injustice'. Here is the abstract:
It is common to hear certain practices – capitalist exploitation, sexist objectification, racist segregation – denounced not just as injustices, but as ‘structural’ injustices. What makes an injustice structural? Which injustices, if any, are such? This paper focuses on two candidates: domination and coercion. Republicans like Philip Pettit claim that domination is never structural. Marxists like Allen Wood claim that coercion is often structural. This paper argues that both claims are wrong. 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. If you would like to have dinner with John Filling in the evening following his talk at the Moral Sciences Club, please email the secretaries of the club ([email protected]) by midday on Monday. This dinner is open to anyone who has attended the talk and it will take place at around 7pm at a location to be determined (those who sign up for dinner will be notified of the details by email closer to the time). -- Karamvir Chadha and Cathy Mason Secretaries of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge [email protected] http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/seminars-msc _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
