Festival of Arguments
by Liz Sanders
We have reluctantly taken the decision to postpone this year’s Festival of Arguments. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope you will understand our decision in light of the uncertainty arising from recent global events. We hope to be able to record one or two of the events without an audience, and we will make these available as soon as possible. We also hope to rearrange some of these events in the future, and details will be posted on the website in due course.
Join the Oxford Uehiro Centre and colleagues from across Oxford in exploring how to think critically about life in this first public festival of practical ethics. The Festival of Arguments is free to take part in, and focusses on exploring today’s most pressing ethical dilemmas. Join us for talks, debates, walks, cafés, book launches, readings and more!
The full event listing and booking system is available here.
We look forward to seeing you at our events! If you have any questions or comments in the meantime please contact liz.sanders@philosophy.ox.ac.uk

Things I’ve learned (so far) about how to do practical ethics
I had the opportunity, a few months back, to look through some old poems I’d written in high school. Some, I thought, were pretty good. Others I remembered thinking were good when I wrote them, but now they seem embarrassingly bad: pseudo-profound, full of clichés, marked by empty rhetoric instead of meaningful content. I’ve had a similar experience today with my collection of articles here at the Practical Ethics blog. And Oh, the things I have learned!
Here are just a few of the lessons that have altered my thinking, or otherwise informed my views about “doing” practical ethics — particularly in a public-engagement context — since my very first blog post appeared in 2011:
