A hybrid event for Uehiro Oxford Institute Members and Associates (booking not required).
Abstract
The incorporation of public moral views into the production of normative knowledge has advanced differently, for example, by treating them as statistical information about people's moral preferences that should shape ethical guidance and public policy. Other approaches have incorporated them as a source of inspiration that facilitates and improves the work of philosophers.
We have developed a method and a protocol that integrates reflective equilibrium and transdisciplinary research: transdisciplinary reflective equilibrium (TRE). It is inspired by the dynamic public reflective equilibrium developed and applied by de Shalit and Wolff, which incorporates public views to improve philosophers' knowledge production. TRE goes further by offering a process of co-production of valid normative knowledge. It gives both academic and non-academic participants shared and equal control over the process.
The TRE method and protocol are being used in a pilot project on climate-sensitive infectious diseases in Paraguay (GLIDE) and in a regional study in South America (WHO).
