Moral language

Famous American moral philosopher and essayist professor Susan Neiman pleads in her upcoming Studium Generale lecture for a revaluation of moral reasoning. Certain events in the last century have led to the conviction that moral concepts have been widely abused. Many people perceive human action to be solely driven by self-interest. Neiman first will explore the origin and limitations of this claim in her lecture. She will then argue that we still need moral concepts to understand and change the world. The lecture is in English.
