Morality De-Mystified
Morality may seem unnatural, unscientific, supernatural - or subjective and arbitrary. But there are objective moral facts which are entirely natural and based on scientific concepts like instrumental valuation, recursive thought, and universalizability. This lets us explain why we share so many moral values in common, and understand why we are prone to make certain errors about the content or source of morality.
Scott Forschler, a PhD in philosophy from the University of Minnesota, specializes in the foundations of morality and universalizability tests. He is writing a book called "The Logic of Morality,” and is the author of many scholarly articles on ethical theory and many other topics.
This program begins at 1:00 PM, both in-person and via Zoom. The in-person event will be held at Pinnacle Living, 45 Forts Ferry Road, Latham, NY. It is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available starting at 12:30 PM. Please bring your own beverage.
