Philosophy Department's Year in Ethics

Some of the bibliographies listed above were done for 2 lecture series in 1996 sponsored by the Philosophy Department at the University of California at Irvine and the Matchette Foundation. 8 leading philosophers in the field of Ethics were invited to give 2 public lectures, one supported by the Matchette Foundation, the other named in memory of A.I. Melden, the founding father of the Philosophy Department at UCI and head of the Academic Senate during the initial years of the new campus at Irvine, and an important philosopher in the field of ethics and action-theory, whose publications included Free Action, Rights and Right Conduct, and Rights and Persons. Abe Melden also edited an anthology of original essays, Essays in Moral Philosophy, and the standard text for Ethics courses for many years, Ethical Theories: A Book of Readings. The 8 philosophers who gave talks were: Jerome Schneewind, Tom Scanlon, Jon Elster, Philippa Foot, Martha C. Nussbaum, Christine M. Korsgaard, John D. McDowell and Allan F. Gibbard.
