International Conference.
Is Evolutionary Research on Morality Relevant to Theological Ethics?
A two days meeting on how recent works in biology, social psychology and cognitive science on morality may concern to theological ethics. Topics addressed by speakers include whether evolutionary accounts of prosocial behaviors matter to metaethics and provide debunking arguments to ethical realism; which differences between animal and human prosociality impact on ethical agency; how to sketch a set of minimal requirements for considering an action a moral one.
