The 2017 Tanner Lecture at the University of Michigan will be given by our own Professor Allan Gibbard. This year's Tanner Lecture, taking place during the University's Bicentennial Celebration, will reflect on the historic role and future of philosophy at UM. Specifically, Professor Gibbard will discuss the history of ethics at UM and what he took from the Stevenson-Brandt-Frankena era, which made UM a leader in moral philosophy.

On September 28, Professor Gibbard will be joined by Professor Stephen Darwall (Yale University), Professor Connie Rosati (University of Arizona), and Professor Sigrun Svavarsdóttir (Tufts University) for a symposium.
