Predicament of Economics: on the Intersection of Ethics, Political Philosophy and Economics
Masterclass
with Prof. Sanjay G. Reddy (New School for Social Research, New York, Fellow of the Cluster of Excellence "The Formation of Normative Orders")
The Masterclass will focus on aspects of the intersection of ethics, political philosophy and economics. It will be concerned with the ways in which normative evaluations inform economic assessments and vice versa, as well as with the challenges of arriving at and applying economic knowledge in social life and in public decision-making. The course will pay particular attention to themes that may be less familiar to students and scholars of ethics orpolitical philosophy (and therefore not be centrally occupied with the classical terrain of distributive justice debates). Although the capability to read and make sense of some technical material would be an advantage, and some relevant concepts will be introduced and used, no such knowledge will be presumed.
