Thoreau once wrote “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” For centuries, the natural world has provided inspiration for writers of every age.

The moral point of view is not a fully coherent point of view. In this paper, Sarah Buss, professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, identifies two reasons why this is so. The first of these reasons is conceptual: because no single virtue is reducible to the disposition to respond appropriately to reasons, the virtues cannot form a perfect unity; only someone with an extremely attenuated set of commitments could insulate herself from the possibility of moral dilemmas. In exploring the second reason, Buss turns attention to the relation between the demands of self-love and the demands of mutual respect. If, Buss suggests, we have difficulty balancing these demands, this is because the ideal of mutual respect is in tension with another moral ideal. In setting the stage for a diagnosis of this second – contingent -- source of our less-than-perfect moral coherence, Buss challenges the conception of moral virtue that is presupposed in discussions of “supererogation.”Catered by Hamilton Whole FoodsSponsored by The Elias J. and Rosa Lee Nemir Audi Lecture Fund - Apr 174:30 PMMental Health Support Group for Faculty & StaffToday's Events | 9 E. Kendrick Street, Hamilton, NY
We invite members of the faculty and staff to join us for small group conversations around mental health and well-being as it relates to our professional lives in higher education. This effort stems from a session at the 2023 Core Pedagogy Retreat in which faculty and staff reflected on their mental health and well-being.These small group conversations will be facilitated by Meika Loe, professor of sociology and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, and Christine Moskell, senior instructional designer in ITS. We’ll gather first and then break into small groups for conversations.*Loe and Moskell are not mental health professionals* but resources to support mental health and well-being for all Colgate employees will be shared.
