DESCRIPTION:Prof Judith Jarvis Thomson (MIT) will give the 9th Routledge L
 ecture in Philosophy on 'Partiality'.\n\nPartiality consists in favoring s
 ome people in a group rather than others.  Morality permits us some instan
 ces of favoring\, but forbids us others.  We are pretty good at recognizin
 g which instances are permissible and which are not.  What we lack is a mo
 ral theory that would explain and justify the differences.   It is hard to
  find such a theory\, so a  second thing we lack is an explanation of the 
 fact that it is so hard to find such a theory.  The lecture will concern i
 tself with both problems.\n\nThis Lecture is free and open to the public. 
 There is no need to book.\n
