Sophie Grace Chappell is Professor of Philosophy at the Open
University in the UK. Before that she taught at the University of
Dundee and Oxford. Sophie has a wide variety of interests,
including ancient philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of
literature. She and Robinson speak about her latest book,
Epiphanies: An Ethics of Experience. More particularly, their
discussion centers around philosophy and literature—including a
wonderful reading of Gerard Manley Hopkins—the relationship
between ethics and aesthetics, and some potential pitfalls of
taking a theory-building approach to moral philosophy.
