Faculty of Philosophy
Oxford is one of the world's great centres for philosophy. More than one hundred and fifty professional philosophers work in the University and its colleges, between them covering a vast range of subjects within philosophy. Many are international leaders in their fields. The Faculty of Philosophy is one of the largest departments of philosophy in the world, and is widely recognized to be amongst the best.
Its reputation draws many distinguished visiting philosophers; each year around fifty philosophers from around the world give lectures or seminars in Oxford. Almost every major philosopher speaks in Oxford at some time.
Each year, more than five hundred undergraduates are admitted to study philosophy in Oxford, always in combination with another subject. The Faculty also has more than a hundred graduate students, who are either taking a taught graduate degree or working for a doctorate.
Oxford is a collegiate university, and every registered student becomes a member of one of the colleges. In this way, he or she has access, not only to the very extensive libraries and facilities of the University, but also to the varied and more intimate life of a college. Colleges offer their students excellent libraries and facilities of their own.
Teaching at Oxford is by lectures and seminars, and by tutorials or supervisions. Courses of lectures and seminars are offered on a very large range of topics, for both undergraduates and graduates. Tutorials are a special feature of Oxford; undergraduates receive regular and frequent tutorials either individually or in pairs from members of the Faculty. All graduate students also receive frequent individual supervisions.
Oxford University dates from the 12th Century or before. The first colleges were founded in the 13th Century. The ancient buildings remain, mingled with magnificent architecture from subsequent centuries, to make Oxford one of the most inspiring and beautiful cities in the world. Within this setting, Oxford remains at the forefront of philosophy.

| 309 | Creative Commons | Uehiro Seminar: Is Networking Immoral? | If networking is considered to be either cultivating non-merit-based favouritism or demonstrating one’s merit in advance of formal selection processes, then I argue that it is an attempt to gain illegitimate advantage over competitors and is thus immoral. | Ned Dobos | 05 Dec 2013 |

| 306 | Creative Commons | Uehiro Seminar: Do antidepressants work and if so how? | Antidepressants are commonplace yet there is much debate about their clinical efficacy.

| 280 | Creative Commons | Benefitting Friends and Idealized Theories of Well-Being | In this paper I give an overview of the kind of idealized theory I endorse and describe the conditions under which a person can appropriately discount, ignore or override a friend's own conception of what's good for him or her. | Valerie Tiberius | 08 Jul 2013 |
| 279 | Creative Commons | Past Desires and Well-being | Some desires are conditional on their persistence and some are not.

| 278 | Creative Commons | Well-being and Desire | I address the question of what constitutes an addition to well-being.

| 276 | Creative Commons | Should one suffer at all? | The standard utilitarian view of happiness seems to be 'pleasure and the absence of pain'.

| 274 | Creative Commons | Virtuous Climate Making? Towards a Virtue-Theoretic Approach to Geoengineering | Geoengineering, as a response to climate change, raises serious ethical and socio-political issues.

| 273 | Creative Commons | The Ethics of Infant Male Circumcision | In this talk, I argue that non-therapeutic circumcision of infants is unethical, whether performed for reasons of obtaining possible future health benefits, for reasons of cultural transmission, or for reasons of perceived religious obligation. | Brian Earp | 27 Jun 2013 |

| 266 | Creative Commons | TT13 Uehiro Seminar: Attention, Action, and Responsibility | The speaker proposes a four-step account of action, within which only two of the four steps benefit from the subject's attention, revealing a potential disconnect between the subject of experience and the morally responsible agent. | Carolyn Dicey Jennings | 18 Jun 2013 |

| 264 | Creative Commons | 2nd St Cross Seminar TT13: Ethics In Finance: A New Financial Theory For A Post-Financialized World | The lecture describes why financial theory and teaching has ignored ethics, viewing moral values as irrelevant. We trace the reason for the neglect of ethics back to assumptions made by Modern Finance Theory, the en courant theory in finance. | Dr Kara Tan Bhala | 06 Jun 2013 |
| 263 | Creative Commons | Folk Psychology, the Reactive Attitudes and Responsibility | In this talk we first argue that the reactive attitudes originate in very fast non-voluntary processes involving constant facial feedback. In the second part we examine the supposed constitutive relation between the reactive attitudes and responsibility. | Jeanette Kennett | 30 May 2013 |

| 259 | Creative Commons | Uehiro Seminar: Rescuing Responsibility from the Retributivists - Neuroscience, Free Will and Criminal Punishment | Legal punishment as the routine infliction of suffering poses a serious challenge of justification.

| 258 | Creative Commons | Astor Keynote Lecture: What Rights May be Defended by Means of War? | Many aims that motivate unjust wars could be achieved without violence if not met with military resistance.
