Living Together: A workshop

Join us at King’s College London to discuss the release of Professor David Schmidtz’s new book, Living Together: Inventing Moral Science.

In Living Together, Prof Schmidtz presents a novel argument for the primacy of political over moral philosophy and seeks to change the way we think about the foundations of justice, drawing together the themes running through the career of an influential philosopher.
