Recording of a lecture delivered on April 4, 2025, by Dr. Jessy Jordan as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Dr. Jordan is Professor of Philosophy at Mount St. Mary’s University, specializing in neo-Aristotelian natural normativity. He is also the Director of the Mount’s common, integrated, and sequenced liberal arts core curriculum. He has published numerous articles on moral philosophy and is currently putting the finishing touches on an Introduction to the Metaethics of Virtue Ethics: On Transcendental Aristotelian Naturalism.
He offers this introduction: "The way one thinks about and explains motion has surprising consequences for how one thinks about moral philosophy. Thus, the early modern rejection of Aristotelian physics and its replacement by the mechanical philosophy of some of the most renowned natural philosophers of the 17th century had profound consequences for what appeared to be a legitimate account of moral evaluations."
