The Center for Values and Social Policy in the Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to invite philosophers to comment on main program papers at the fifth annual RoME Congress.
As we finalize this program, we will need to assign commentators to each paper. Ideally we’d like to match papers up with experts and critics. That’s where you come in. Anyone with interest in attending the RoME conference is invited to submit a letter indicating their interest in commenting.
For those working in environmental ethics and philosophy, the philosophy the following papers may be available to comment on:
- Michael Deem (Notre Dame) “Dehorning the Darwinian dilemma for realist theories of value”
- Mylan Engel (NIU) “Do Animals Have Rights, and Does it Matter if They Don’t?”
- Carl Hammer (CUNY Staten Island) “Kant’s vegetarian imperative”
