SUMMARY:Consortium on Moral Decision Making Meeting and Grad Meet and Greet
DESCRIPTION:\nSean Laurent of the psychology department will be deliveri
ng a talk titled “When 'not caring' makes little sense: The role of desi
re in moral character judgments for side-effect effects."\n\n"When a per
son acts to achieve a goal they are pursuing\, this pursuit can sometime
s lead to a favorable or unfavorable outcome for some system\, instituti
on\, or person (the side effect). In these cases\, the person pursuing t
he goal might be aware that this outcome is likely to occur\, but decide
to act anyway\, because they don't really care about this side-effect o
utcome\; what they care about is achieving their goal. The talk I will g
ive focuses on perceptions of goal-pursuing agents' desire for the side-
effect outcome\, and the role this plays in evaluations of the agents' a
ttitudes\, beliefs\, and moral character."\n\nAfter Tuesday's Consortium
meeting we will be hosting a casual Grad Meet and Greet from 2:00–4:00
p.m. where graduate students in various disciplines associated with the
Consortium can drop by. This is a great chance to meet others interested
in work related to ethics and moral decision making.\n\nFor more detail

"When a person acts to achieve a goal
they are pursuing, this pursuit can sometimes lead to a favorable or un
favorable outcome for some system, institution, or person (the side effe
ct). In these cases, the person pursuing the goal might be aware that th
is outcome is likely to occur, but decide to act anyway, because they do
n't really care about this side-effect outcome; what they care about is
achieving their goal. The talk I will give focuses on perceptions of goa
l-pursuing agents' desire for the side-effect outcome, and the role this
plays in evaluations of the agents' attitudes, beliefs, and moral chara
cter."
After Tuesday's Consortium meeting we will be hosting a cas
ual Grad Meet and Greet from 2:00–4:00 p.m. where graduate students in v
arious disciplines associated with the Consortium can drop by. This is a
great chance to meet others interested in work related to ethics and mo
