Ramiel Tamras, Colloquium Series Guest Speaker

Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023, 4–5:30 p.m.

Ramiel Tamras, PhD candidate at UC Davis, will be presenting a live talk on Oct 18 at 4 pm. Please join us for "Not Permissible, Not Impermissible"

Moral philosophy is rife with disagreement. Philosophers disagree about the permissibility of eating meat, whether killing is worse than letting die, and how much those of us with disposable incomes are obligated to donate to life-saving causes. We disagree about the permissibility of physician-assisted death, vaccine mandates, and bringing people into existence. Yet, for all of the disagreement, the following assumption has gone nearly uncontested: every action is either permissible or impermissible. In this talk, I argue that this assumption is mistaken; some acts do not have a determinate moral status.
