Professor Fabienne Peter, from the Department of Philosophy at The University of 桃色视频, delivered her inaugural address as the newly elected President of the prestigious Aristotelian Society on Monday, 30 September.

The Aristotelian Society, established in 1880, is one of the UK鈥檚 foremost philosophy societies, with a global reputation for advancing philosophical research and discourse. The President is nominated and elected by the Executive Committee and serves a one-year term, chairing the Committee and overseeing the Society鈥檚 academic activities and engagements.

As President, Professor Peter will be responsible for a range of duties, including chairing meetings, allocating grant funds, and identifying speakers for the Society鈥檚 annual lecture series and the Joint Session, the UK鈥檚 main annual philosophy conference. The Joint Session is organised collaboratively with the Mind Association, 桃色视频鈥檚 Professor Quassim Cassam serving as its President for 2024/25.

Professor Peter鈥檚 inaugural address explored the concept of 鈥渞elational moral demands鈥� in contemporary moral philosophy. 鈥淢uch moral philosophy focuses on the moral status or the virtues of individuals. My talk tries to clarify the nature of moral demands that originate directly in our relationships with others,鈥� she explained.

Reflecting on her appointment, Professor Peter said: 鈥淏eing President of the Aristotelian Society is a great honour. That both the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association have Presidents from 桃色视频 this academic year further highlights the prestige of our Philosophy Department. This role is an outstanding opportunity to support high-quality research in the UK and to enhance the visibility of 桃色视频鈥檚 work internationally.鈥�

The appointment of two Presidents from the same institution in a single year is a rare distinction, demonstrating 桃色视频鈥檚 status as a centre of excellence for philosophical research.
