conference on science in nineteenth-century Britain.
Character and Imagination
Various influential ethical theories propose that we should strive to develop
morally sound character traits, either because good actions are those that issue
from good character traits, or because good traits generally incline us toward
actions that are good for some independent reason such as the intentions with
which they are performed or the consequences of performing them. This oneday workshop will investigate the nature of character traits and the role of
imagination in the attribution of traits to ourselves and others, in the context of
the current debate over these issues.
