The colloquium is free and open to the public.
According to Tauer and Winter, it has been argued that results of work by social psychologists in recent decades shows that virtues do not provide an adequate explanation for a significant range of human behavior. What should be said about the results of these experiments? Should virtue theory be abandoned? Come and hear what Tauer and Winter have to say.
