Organised by Patrick Turmel (universit&#233; Laval, Qu&#233;bec) and Emmanuel Picavet (universit&#233; Paris 1 Panth&#233;on-Sorbonne).ArgumentThe Conference "Basic rights, relational ethics and financial constraints"&#160;will explore, from a philosophical perspective, the various ways in which basic rights, interpersonal, professional and institutional relations, and financial constraints interact. Given the gap between the generality of basic ethical principles and the norms of practice in various areas of social life, there is usually no direct or obvious way from principles to detailed and effective regulation.Thus, important questions regarding the implementation and interpretation of rights make it inevitable to engage with practical issues of interpersonal and institutional ethics. In this respect, financial constraints bring in an additional degree of complexity. Indeed, financial constraints are often suspected of being responsible for ethically inadequate relationships in professional and institutional contexts.For example, medical ethics is often very uncomfortable dealing with financial constraints, which potentially endanger the ethical and professional requirements of care provision. We would like to highlight the nature and ethical relevance of conflicts of this kind. In addition, our ambition is also to explore the levels of decision-making and aspects of organizations that are impacted by financial constraints. These constraints often consist in budgetary maxima, but often assume more complex forms: difficulties in the access to credit are an important case, administrative difficulties and justification requirements are also important potential troublemakers in the relationships between money and ethically respectable practice.ProgrammeThursday, November 26th.&#160;Meeting point : Board Room A,&#160;&#171;Le France&#160;&#187;, 190 avenue de France, Paris 13e.&#160;9:30&#160;Patrick Turmel (Universit&#233; Laval, Qu&#233;bec)&#160;Introductory remarks&#160;9:45&#160;Emmanuel Picavet (Universit&#233; Paris 1 Panth&#233;on-Sorbonne)&#160;Some Preliminary Working Hypotheses: the Financial Side of Hard Compromise10:00&#160;Vida Panitch (Carleton University, Canada)&#160;Commodification and Inequality.11:00&#160;Pierre-Yves N&#233;ron (Universit&#233; Catholique de Lille)&#160;Relational Equality and Economic Institutions11:45&#160;Louis-Philippe Hodgson (York University, Canada)&#160;Relational Rights and Political Institutions12:30 Lunch14:00&#160;Douglas Mackay (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA)&#160;Fulfilling Basic Rights in Conditions of Scarcity: The Ethics of Public Policy Randomized Controlled Trials14:45&#160;Jocelyn Maclure (Universit&#233; Laval, Qu&#233;bec)&#160;Conscience-based Exemptions and Taxation15:45&#160;Michael Kessler (University of Toronto, Canada)&#160;Childhood, Impaired Consent, and Criminal Justice16:30&#160;Rosana Trivi&#241;o (Universidade da Coru&#241;a, Spain) Consciences in Crisis: Healthcare providers' objection to cutouts &#38; rights restrictionsFriday, November 27th&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Meeting point : Ground floor,&#160;Maison Internationale de l&#8217;universit&#233; Paris 1 Panth&#233;on-Sorbonne,58, boulevard Arago, Paris 13e.&#160;14:00&#160;Constanze Binder (Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands)&#160;Regulating Free Markets to Promote Freedom14:45&#160;David Robichaud (Universit&#233; d&#8217;Ottawa, Canada)&#160;Freedom and Taxation15:45&#160;Chad Horne (Centre for Moral and Political Philosophy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem)&#160;Insurance and Equality Revisited16:30 Concluding debate and perspectives
