*Summer School of the Netherlands School for Research in Practical
Philosophy**: Ethics and Economics**
Date: 22-26 August 2010
Location: Woodbrookershuis, Barchem, the Netherlands Deadline for
application: April 1, 2010

The future of the global economy is very much an open question.
Especially since the financial crisis, debates about economic topics have
resurged, in public life as well as in academia. Economic institutions and
systems can be evaluated from a wide variety of points of view: economic,
sociological, psychological etc. In this summer school, we will look at
these institutions and systems from the perspective of contemporary
practical philosophy, especially moral and political philosophy. We will
focus on the contributions from these fiels to debates about key economic
institutions (such as the market, labour relations, taxation and others)
and more comprehensive economic systems (such as capitalism and socialism,
the welfare state and basic income society). We will pay close attention
both to the different normative frameworks and values that can be used for
such evaluations (justice, equality, freedom, quality of life, etc.), as
well as how to deal philosophically with the institutional details with
which economic reality confronts us.
The aim of the course is not only to offer an overview of contemporary
debates about ethics and economics but also a critical examination of
different approaches. In addition, we want to provide an opportunity for
PhD students to reflect on the methodology in their own research projects
and a forum to discuss how to deal with the controversies about
methodology in contemporary practical philosophy. The course will be of
interest to PhD-students from different disciplines (philosophy,
economics, political science, law, etc.) who are working on normative
evaluations of economic mechanisms, institutions and systems.
