This dissertation normatively reconstructs and defends Adam Smith’s sentimentalist Impartial Spectator theory of moral judgment. After beginning with a critical analysis of David Hume’s sentimentalist theory of moral evaluation, I reconstruct Smith’s theory of moral judgment as offering both a more explanatorily and normatively adequate meta-ethical theory of moral judgment, namely his account of the Impartial Spectator. Although, Smith’s moral project was arguably, largely descriptive, I develop a normative reconstruction of what would be morally required of persons were they to determine their moral judgments in the manner developed by Smith—were they to take up, normatively, the Impartial Spectator perspective. I argue that Smith offers a complexly nuanced account of morality, which realizes values that give persons good reasons to take up the perspective of the Impartial Spectator as their moral point of view. In developing and defending this Smithian theory of moral judgment, I appeal to moral psychological resources from Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s account of Amour-Propre, the desire for recognition.

  • Leibniz's Metaphysics
    Cambridge University Press 0521403014 - Leibniz’s Metaphysics: Its Origins and Development - Christia Mercer Frontmatter More information Leibniz’s Metaphysics Its Origins and Development This is the first systematic study of the development of Leibniz’s philoso- phy. By placing his vast writings in their proper intellectual context and by analyzing unnoticed early works, Christia Mercer shows that Leibniz de- veloped his philosophy much earlier than previously believed and for rea- sons that have not been recognized. Leibniz’s Metaphysics: Its Origins and Development offers a major reassessment of Leibniz’s thought. It will en- gage philosophers, historians, and scholars of religious studies. For too long, the history of early modern philosophy has been a tale of tidy progress according to which Leibniz developed his metaphysics pri- marily in reaction to the old scholasticism and the new Cartesianism. Leib- niz’s Metaphysics: Its Origins and Development shows that this story is in- accurate. By uncovering a German school of conciliatory eclectics who trained the young Leibniz, Mercer places his early texts in an entirely new light. By excavating Leibniz’s long-hidden views about substance, God, and method, Mercer exposes for the first time the underlying assumptions and ultimate goals of his philosophy. It becomes clear that Leibniz’s relation to Descartes, Spinoza, and other major seventeenth-century thinkers is sig- nificantly different than previously thought. This study will compel schol- ars to reconsider many of their assumptions

    Literature Humanities Columbia University Fall, 2017 Christia Mercer, Gustave M. Berne Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University Morgain Gooding-Silverwood, Actor and Playwright, Columbia College, 2015 Keenan Teddy Smith, Poet and Student, Columbia College, 2018 Course Description In this course, we’ll analyze stories, plays and poetry from roughly 2500-3000 years ago. We’ll frame our reading and discussion of these ancient works with a poem written by one of the great American poets, Gwendolyn Brooks. All of this literature explores love, desire, fear, family, revenge, courage, justice, power, and gender. The questions we will ask about the works include: How do these ancient works of literature create imagined worlds that still resonate with us, despite their historical distance, and what do they tell us about the challenges of human existence? Besides examining the themes and ideas in these dramas, we’ll pay attention to the theatrical elements they employ. We’ll do close readings of passages and scenes, and sometimes explore their complications by performing them. Our Main Questions/Themes Our classroom discussions will focus on the following questions: As human beings, what should we seek or love? How do our goals and loves relate to those of our family, friends, and community? Why is fulfilling our loves so hard? What gets in the way? What do we fear and how can we overcome those fears? In the end, what do the answers offered to these questions by this ancient literature tell us about ourselves as human beings? Pedagogical Goals Improve writing skills. Learn about theatrical arts, epic literature, and poetic means of expression.

  • Explaining Evil in Plato, Euripides and Seneca
    Explaining Evil in Plato, Euripides and Seneca Rachana Kamtekar1 Abstract: Plato distinguishes two kinds of explanation: rational explanation of an agent’s practical reasoning leading to the selection of an action as a reasonable means to a good end, and dispositional explanation, given in terms of the agency that is such as to bring about an action of a given sort. Rational explanation seeks completion in the explainer’s recognition of the agent’s end as a good and the agent’s means as reasonable, which confers intelligibility on the action; dispositional explanation is a fallback when the explainer cannot see the agent’s end as good or means as reasonable—as is the case with evil. This claim is illustrated in Euripides’ and Seneca’s Medea plays. Keywords: explanation, good, evil, action, character 1. Introduction Not only is evil hard to explain, it’s hard to understand why evil is so hard to explain. In this paper, I draw on Plato’s discussions of the explanation of action for 1 For their comments on earlier drafts of this paper, I’d like to thank an audience at the Franklin and Marshall College Conference on Character and Decision in March 2012; participants in my seminar on ancient conceptions of evil at the University of Arizona in Spring 2012, especially Michael Bukoski and Kristin Reglitz; participants in the Evil workshop at Columbia University, April 2012; an audience at the International Plato Society regional conference in Ann Arbor, MI in October 2012 and especially my commentator Umer Shaikh; an audience at Yale University in January 2013, and for reading drafts, Andrew Chignell, Christopher Gill, Stephen Menn, Lindsay Pitt, and Rachel Singpurwalla.

Remez, Chair Professor of Psychology, Barnard College George Andreopoulos Professor, Political Science and Criminal Justice, City University of New York The University Seminars are groups of professors and other experts, from Columbia and elsewhere, who gather once a month to work together on problems that cross the boundaries between university departments. Susan Boynton Professor of Music, Columbia University Each seminar elects its own officers, plans its own program, and selects its own membership: members from Columbia, Jennifer Crewe associate members from elsewhere, and any speakers or other guests it invites to its sessions. Approximately half of the Associate Provost and Director, Columbia University Press seminars admit selected graduate students as guests. Seminar participants and speakers attend by invitation and neither pay nor are paid, although a central office supports travel and hotel expenses for speakers when its endowment income Kenneth T. Jackson permits. Jacques Barzun Professor of History and the Social Sciences, Columbia University Some seminars are tight, restricted discussion groups that specialize in particular subfields; others are broad-based David Johnston leture series where eminent visitors disseminate the latest knowledge.
