| Wed 07 Apr 2010 | Why Chicks Don't Dig Philorum, Dudes! (Joffre Balce) | ||
| Before anything, credit for the topics goes to Garry Krimotat, who is the original proponent, and Edward Neylan, who suggested adding some balance. The topic might sound offensive, especially to those who consider themselves "chicks" or "dudes", but is nevertheless open to such and makes no apologies to said parties. Given strict time limits, it will be a best efforts philosophical attempt to determine (1) if chicks and dudes do exist as well as the act of "digging" something and (2) if the statement is indeed offensive as well as relevant and material. | |||

| Wed 05 May 2010 | Ethical experts, fact or fiction? (Barry Rafe) | ||
| What is the contribution of the moral authority and the exemplar human to the moral character of a society? I will argue that there are no ethical experts and that the concept of moral or ethical expertise is deeply flawed since there is no idea that anyone can speak as for us in a situation of a subjective moral dilemma. Whilst I argue that there are no ethical experts I explain that there is an important role for moral authorities and exemplar human beings in setting the moral character of the society. Whilst our society requires that people will take responsibility for their actions people often look to a moral authority to guide them in making difficult moral decisions. In a liberal society with different and competing moral conventions, new conventions amongst one group will test the conventions of another group leading to constant tension and evolution of moral values. | |||
