Anscombe and Moral Prohibition

Fall 2021 Event Banners-44 (1).png

Join Collegium Institute for a special evening lecture featuring Dr. Candace Vogler, David B. and Clara E. Stern Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. The topics of Dr. Vogler's wide-ranging research include ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy and literature, cinema, psychoanalysis, gender studies, and more.

Elizabeth Anscombe famously suggested that if we couldn't understand the basis of moral prohibition, then we couldn't do moral philosophy at all. Like Peter Geach, she held that Aristotle was of no help in understanding moral prohibition. In this talk, Dr. Vogler will discuss her views on these matters, linking her interest in the topic with some of her later remarks on our final end.

This event is cosponsored by Penn’s Program for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society.
