CFP: Everyday Ethics in the 18th C. (9/15/03; ASECS, 3/24/04-3/28/04)

Everyday Ethics in the Eighteenth Century
ASECS, March 24-28, 2004 Boston

This ASECS session is interested in ethics in a broad sense: the choice of
how to live and how to act. Papers for this session might investigate the
everyday influences on how people in the eighteenth century made such
choices. Alternatively, participants might address the question of how
morally- and ethically-framed discourses of the time operated for other
ends. Relevant topics would include but are not limited to: private
morality and public life; "practical reason" before Kant; education and
the "choice of life"; ethical choices in literature; conduct books and
moral guides; author(ship) as bully (pulpit); morality and misogyny; the
ethics of reading; teaching ethics from eighteenth-century material.
