Reception to follow on the 6th floor lounge.
Under the influence of
natural scientists, especially of Newton, philosophers of the 17th,
18th, and 19th centuries made ethics entirely empirical (e.g. Hobbes,
Hume, Adam Smith, Bentham, Mill). Today, in the 21st century, there is
a new proselytizing, naturalizing movement (e.g. cognitive science,
moral psychology, evolutionary ethics).
