Pearson Chair in Civil Society and Public Policy\, in collaboration with VRƵ’s Department of Philosophy.\n\nThe event is open to all – no regis tration required.\n\nAbstract\n\n'The idea of a normative power\, which we have as a matter of moral fact\, independent of any legal or other kind o f convention\, was invented by Joseph Raz in 1972. I do not believe that a ny such natural normative powers exist. Raz takes the well understood idea of a legal (or otherwise conventional) power and generalizes it\, without argument\, to the moral domain. The bulk of the paper is a critical discu ssion of Raz’s “desirability” test for the existence of natural moral powe rs. The central example throughout is that of promising\, that does involv e the exercise of a (conventional\, in my view) normative power\, which is contrasted with the morality of reliance\, that does not.'\n DTSTART:20260409T190000Z DTEND:20260409T210000Z LOCATION:Caren and Jordan H.
