Ethics & Caribbean Philosophy: David Scott on Stuart Hall's Ethics
Date: Monday, November 23
Time: 6pm EST
From the Centre of Ethics, University of Toronto Facebook page.
Small Axe editor David Scott will discuss his recent book Stuart Hall’s Voice: Intimations of an Ethics of Receptive Generosity with Ben Davis. Stuart Hall’s Voice explores the ethos of style that characterized Stuart Hall’s intellectual vocation. David Scott frames the book—which he wrote as a series of letters to Hall in the wake of his death—as an evocation of friendship understood as the moral and intellectual medium in which his dialogical hermeneutic relationship with Hall’s work unfolded. In this respect, the book asks: what do we owe intellectually to the work of those whom we know well, admire, and honor? Reflecting one of the lessons of Hall’s style, the book responds: what we owe should be conceived less in terms of criticism than in terms of listening.
