SUMMARY:Huxley Memorial Lecture 2025: The Moral Question by Dr Didier Fassin
DESCRIPTION:The Moral Question by Dr Didier Fassin\n\n					\n									Click here to view the recording\n					 \nFriday 5 December at The London School of Economics & Political Science \nThe lecture will start at 6pm and will be followed by a drinks reception. \n																														 \nThe Venue for The Huxley Lecture this year will be The London School of Economics. \nThe Sheikh Zayed Theatre on the Lower Ground Floor \nCheng Kin Ku Building\, 54 Lincoln’s Inn Fields\, London\, WC3A 3LJ \n			 \nAnthropologists have long been reluctant with regard to the study of morality\, fearing that it would be vitiated by the projection of their own values. The word “moral” is indeed simultaneously and ambiguously descriptive and normative. Yet\, in recent years\, a rich field of research has developed\, mainly in the alternative form of a Durkheimian approach to moral codes inspired by the ethics of duty and a Foucauldian interpretation of moral subjectivation inherited from the ethics of virtue. \nThe lecture will analyse the emergence of these new objects in the study of social life\, its resonance with transient changes in public discourses\, and the discussions to which it gave rise. But a distinct\, critical framework will be presented\, questioning both the normative dimension of the word “moral”\, so as to open to all values and emotions independently of prior evaluation of their merit\, and the consistency of the domain of “morality”\, considering that what is observable are instead moral issues linked to historical circumstances\, cultural sensitivities\, social mobilizations\, and political stakes. \nCase studies from various research on humanitarianism\, immigration\, policing\, punishment\, and violence will serve to reflect on the concepts of moral economies\, moral justifications and moral communities\, and on their heuristic significance to apprehend some of the most vexing questions of our time\, including the unequal worth of lives. \nDidier Fassin is Professor at the Collège de France and at the Institute for Advanced Study. \nEnquiries to: RAI\, 50 Fitzroy St\, London W1T 5 BT; tel 020 7387 0455; email \nThe event is free\, but places must be booked.
