denXte: Welche Unterschiede zählen?

In the organizer's words:

Imagine Anna doesn't get a promotion that she actually deserves. Maybe she missed out because her boss doesn't like her personally. Maybe she had to take a back seat because she is a woman. Does that make a difference? What is relevant for a moral assessment of this process? The boss's motives? Does it ultimately matter to Anna why she was treated unfairly? Or is it morally not so much about Anna, but about the social structure against whose background the interaction takes place?
Discuss with denXte and Prof. Dr. Christine Bratu!

denXte is an interactive philosophical lecture series in which renowned philosophers present socially topical and scientifically relevant issues in the form of thought experiments. After a short thematic introduction by the philosophers, the audience is invited to explore their own intuition on the topic and - by voting with their smartphone and in a subsequent open discussion - to contribute to the discussion.

Christine Bratu is a professor of philosophy with a focus on gender studies at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. She conducts research on analytical feminist philosophy, political philosophy and moral philosophy.

We recommend arriving early as we only have a limited number of places. Admission starts at 18:30.
