The course, open for PhD students and research master students, aims to give an overview of current debates in practical philosophy, with a special emphasis on the role of different normative theories in applied contexts. Also, different methodological approaches to ethics will be discussed. The course is structured to be especially useful for PhD students working in applied ethics.
Preparation
As this is a short and intensive course, active preparation by the students is required. Before the beginning of the winter school, participants living in the Netherlands will be invited for a preparatory meeting in which the programme and preparatory requirements are discussed. Details regarding the date and location of this meeting will follow – those who live abroad will be informed about the preparatory requirements via e-mail. Before the beginning of the winter school, participants are expected to write brief discussion papers for two sessions, and to study the literature selected for the course. During the course, all participants will give a brief presentation on (part of) their PhD project. After the winter school students are expected to write a longer paper on one of the normative theories discussed.
Costs
Participants pay a contribution of 419 euros for meals and accommodation, and are expected to make their own travel arrangements. Participants for whom it is impossible to have the accommodation costs reimbursed by their own university can apply for a partial stipend of the Netherlands Research School for Practical Philosophy.
