Ethics Etc.
Papers delivered at the Moral Philosophy Seminar are occasionally posted and further discussed online at Ethics Etc (www.ethics-etc.com). This is an online forum for discussing contemporary philosophical issues in normative ethics, metaethics, moral epistemology, moral psychology, applied ethics, social and political philosophy, law, and other related areas. Its method is analytical, and it encourages the posting of new ideas and arguments that have not been fully worked out.
