Stephen Darwall is Andrew Downey Orrick Professor of Philosophy
at Yale University and John Dewey Distinguished University
Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan. He is a
world-renowned moral philosopher who has worked broadly across
the ethical landscape, making important contributions to Kant
scholarship, legal philosophy, deontology, and countless other
areas. In this episode, Robinson and Steve talk about Steve’s
strabismus (a visual impairment) and how it affects the way he
sees the world, violence and human dignity, second-personal
ethics, and Steve’s work on the relationship between philosophy
and the heart. This is Steve’s second appearance on Robinson’s
Podcast. In his first, episode #49, Steve and Robinson discussed
the history of modern ethics, beginning with Hugo Grotius and
traveling up through Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Bentham, and Smith
before ending with Marx, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche’s attack on
morality. Check out Steve’s book on second-personal ethics, The
Second-Person Standpoint: Morality, Respect, and Accountability
(Harvard, 2009).
