Alternative Contemporary Ethics
From the 1980s on, a number of objections have been leveled against the still-dominant paradigm of moral theory in moral philosophy focusing mainly on the development of prescriptive, universalist theories, often independently of our ordinary social and natural contexts. Such criticism and new perspectives in ethics trod different paths. Representatives of the Wittgensteinian tradition, pragmatism, virtues ethics, care ethics, and critical theory each offered different diagnoses of and suggestions to this dominant tradition. In particular, it has been variously voiced the concern for the feasibility and opportunity of “top down” approaches to moral theory, which in its three components (meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics) has progressively eroded the scope as well as the very relevance of ordinary moral life, exasperating the role and weight of prescriptive theorizing in ethics, according to which the role of philosophy would be that of dictating particular solutions to the various problems afflicting ordinary life.
Against this picture, the centrality of first person moral experience and personal relationships has been vindicated, commencing, in so doing, a new course for moral philosophy altogether. According to these heterodox positions, moral philosophy should assist and ameliorate the moral life by thinking itself anew as one practice among others, rather than as a theoretical device operating from above the thread of human activities and practices as well as from above the yet more comprehensive thread of vital and social coexistences of which non-human animals, environments, and social and economical processes are an integrant part.
The conference aims at articulating these lines of research, showing at the same time the connections and trades between these different alternative contemporary ethical traditions.
The event is organized by Piergiorgio Donatelli and Anne-Marie Christensen.

De la Fragilité du Bien à la Justice Poétique: Poétique, Éthique et Politique de Martha Nussbaum
À l'occasion des traductions françaises de ses livres The Fragility of Goodness et de Poetic Justice, ce colloque se propose d'explorer deux aspects complémentaires de l'œuvre de Martha Nussbaum.
The Fragility of Goodness, paru en 1986 et traduit en français en 2016, est le premier ouvrage à développer systématiquement l'usage original que M. Nussbaum fait des textes littéraires comme philosophie à part entière. Elle fait dialoguer systématiquement auteurs tragiques et philosophes grecs antiques, autour de trois idées forces : l’ambition et la fragilité chez les tragiques, le bien sans la fragilité chez Platon et la fragilité d’une vie humaine bonne. Le résultat de cette confrontation est la compréhension approfondie d’un thème, celui de « chance morale » (moral luck), autrement dit de la vulnérabilité de ce qui constitue le bien à l’égard des circonstances et des hasards.
Poetic Justice, paru dix ans plus tard et traduit en français en 2015, aborde la transposition des concepts clés de la philosophie normative de Nussbaum - empathie, émotions, imagination - au champ de la philosophie politique et de la vie publique. L’enjeu est de comprendre le rôle de ces concepts clés dans la correction (mieux : la justesse) des raisonnements et des jugements relevant des domaines publics (politique, droit, questions sociales, etc.). Derrière cette description renouvelée des raisonnements apparaît une autre conception de la raison, non pas impartiale et désincarnée, mais fondée sur une appréciation des situations humaines particulières.
L'objet du colloque est de revenir en compagnie de Martha Nussbaum sur ces deux facettes de l'œuvre, morale et politique. Dans quelle mesure cette compréhension renouvelée du raisonnement est-elle une réponse aux difficultés soulevées dans La fragilité du bien ? Peut-on espérer qu’elle limite les effets de la vulnérabilité du bien ? Quelles sont les vertus de l’usage des émotions, de l’imagination, de l’empathie, concernant le raisonnement pratique ? Autant de questions auxquelles les différents intervenants tenteront de répondre.

The meaning of care in different traditions
The goal of the present workshop is first to discover the diversity of the meaning of Care and how the word “ Care”, which is not translated in either French or in Japanese, is understood and appropriated. Equally another goal is to go beyond these different forms of reception, to find out a common ground and to share some ways in order to deepen this thought. Because “Care” focuses on relations of dependence and autonomy and on the problem of responsibility to others, this concept helps us to place the vulnerability at the center of the forms of human life, and henceforth in democracy.
This workshop will bring together Japanese and French scholars who examine “Care” from the concerns of our human lives, caring practices, gender, politics.
