About this event
One of the core questions of philosophical ethics is the practical and existential question "How should we live?" The history of moral philosophy has offered a range of answers to this question, guiding normative concepts that we can think of as suggestions about how to set our moral compass. Classic options include virtue, duty, consequence, and care. In this session, we will explore an alternative. Can we live a good life by setting our moral compass to growth? Is growth good?
