Talk Title: 'Legal History in the Present Tense'

Over the past few years we have found that students from Warwick’s Economics Department have highly valued the opportunity to meet with employers and former students of the Department to explore the range of economics related careers.

For the 2022-23 academic year, we will be hosting a series of events covering a range of topics. We hope that you take this opportunity to learn about working in various sectors, the skills that employers value in economics graduates and find out more about how to apply for the positions that they offer in their companies.

If you are interested in finding out more we would like to invite you to join us for a virtual event on Wednesday 8 February 1-2pm (UK Time). You will have the opportunity to find out more from Alumni who work in various sectors.

Please note that these events are for current students only.

Talk: Philosophical Misanthropy

Abstract: This paper rejects the standard model of misanthropy as hatred of humankind and offers an alternative. I propose that misanthropy be understood as a negative, critical verdict on the collective moral condition and performance of humankind. The misanthrope sees humankind as suffused with a variety of failings that are entrenched and ubiquitous. Such a verdict can be expressed - emotionally, and practically - in a range of stances, of which four are prominent across the Western, Indian, and Chinese traditions. I describe this pluralistic conception of misanthropy, explain these four misanthropic stances, and conclude by noting a predicament in which certain misanthropes can find themselves.

Best,

Andrew
