Teaching Fall 2013. Penn-Princeton-Rutgers Graduate Seminar in Moral Psychology Mondays, 1:30 - 4:30. Cristina Bicchieri, University of Pennsylvania, Gilbert Harman, Princeton University, Stephen Stich, Rutgers University. The last dozen years have seen an explosion of philosophical interest in empirically informed moral psychology. This seminar will review some of the cutting edge empirical and theoretical work in this area and explore its philosophical implications. About half of the sessions of the seminar will be led by Professor Bicchieri, Harman, or Stich. The other half will be led by philosophers and scientists from other universities. The primary location of the seminar meetings will rotate from Penn to Princeton to Rutgers, and the person leading the seminar will be located at the primary location. Video conferencing technology will be available at all three sites, so that students can participate without traveling to other campuses. Interests.
