Coming soon: a 3 year postdoctoral fellowship at The Institute for Ethics in AI and Corpus Christi College for a moral philosopher working on AI Ethics. More soon.

Remembering the great Joseph Raz who died two years ago today. He grounded both liberalism and legal positivism in a broadly Aristotelian ethical outlook. He set new standards of depth and rigour in legal and political philosophy.

We are delighted to welcome our Distinguished Research Fellow Daron Acemoglu who is in Oxford over the next few weeks. Sign up for his lecture on AI, work and democracy on May 17 oxford-aiethics.ox.ac.uk/event/ethics-a…

Josh Ober and I were delighted to have the great Daron Acemoglu speak on the future of democracy at our seminar today. Still haven’t convinced him that this future needs a commitment to objective values, such as freedom and equality.

Oxford has been home to a diversity of approaches to moral philosophy. In addition to consequentialism, there is a humanistic strain, emphasising value pluralism, judgment and the role of our human nature. The Lyceum Project is in the latter tradition.
