Dear all, This is a reminder that the next MSC meeting will be this afternoon. 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. -- 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.
