The Future of Consent: Workshop 2

Chancellors Conference Centre, University of Manchester, UK, 22-24 March 2010

The central purpose of the workshop is to assess the importance and value attached to informed consent in order to engage with questions of broader significance concerning the complex relationships between, on the one hand, the individual as a relatively, but non-ideally, autonomous agent and, on the other hand, his or her society with its collective purposes. The workshop is interdisciplinary involving distinguished international figures in philosophy, law, and psychology. The organisers of the workshop gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Society for Applied Philosophy which has made possible the subsidising of the postgraduate places at this event.
