What can engaged moral agents and policy-makers learn from academic moral philosophy?  What can moral philosophers  learn from those who are actively trying to make the world a better place?  Professor Chappell's lecture will take up these questions, exploring—from both directions—the prospects for unifying ethical theory and practice.

Richard Yetter Chappell is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Miami. He is the author of Parfit's Ethics (Cambridge), lead editor of utilitarianism.net, and posts about moral philosophy and effective altruism at www.goodthoughts.blog.
