About

Jurisprudence is the subject where moral, political, social, and legal philosophy come together to investigate fundamental questions of intrinsic and public importance: In what ways does the market fail to capture the value of the goods we trade? What must be true for you to be blameworthy for your actions? Is the collective act of a group more than some combination of acts of its members? How does democratic practice differ from scientific practice in confronting a problem? What is it to be reasonable as opposed to rational? When is it appropriate for a state to punish a lawbreaker? What factors threaten trust in a society and how do they interact? Is justice verdictive or aspirational? How can we kickstart a moral revolution to save ourselves from global warming?

The Future of Jurisprudence Conference will explore these and other questions over the course of three days, as a variety of scholars engage with more senior scholars to illustrate the breadth and depth of the subject of jurisprudence.
