The normative theory reading group holds close readings and discussions of key texts in any area of moral, political, or legal philosophy. The forum provides an opportunity for both exegesis and criticism, and potentially the presentation of original work. It is organised by a group of young scholars but we welcome the involvement of more senior members of staff.

We meet on Wednesdays from 10-12 in S1.50. If you are interested in joining the group, please email Tom Parr (T.A.Parr@warwick.ac.uk), who will add your name to the mailing list.

We will not be meeting during the summer term 2013-14.
