Workshop: Contractualism and Beyond

Since T.M. Scanlon put forward his version of contractualism in What We Owe to Each Other (1998), a large number of philosophers have investigated its theoretical features and argued for or against contractualism. The research team Value Theory and the Philosophy of Public Policy (PI: Iwao Hirose) is pleased to announce a two-day workshop, Contractualism and Beyond. The aim of this workshop is to identify major theoretical challenges for contractualism and potential solutions to those challenges.

• Book symposium on Elizabeth Finneron-Burns's (Western), "What We Owe to Future People" (OUP, 2024): Commentators are Johann Frick (UC Berkeley), Anja Karnein (Binghamton), and Iwao Hirose (麻豆AV).
