Leiden University, the Faculty of Humanities, Institute for Philosophy invites applications for a:
Postdoctoral Researcher in the project “Do we owe anything to ourselves?” (0,8 fte )
The postdoctoral researcher will be working on a subproject within the Starting Grant project “Do we owe anything to ourselves?”, funded by the Dutch Government. The project is directed by Dr. Marijana Vujosevic (Assistant Professor in Moral and Political Philosophy at Leiden University).
Project
The question whether we have obligations to ourselves is an old one. Indeed, doubt has long been raised about the possibility of duties to the self, that is, duties requiring such things as self-respect, self-improvement, self-care, standing up for oneself and self-cognition. A key objection is the paradox of self-release. Marcus Singer’s well-known spin on the paradox argues that the notion of a duty to oneself is internally incoherent: having such duties would amount to having duties from which one could always release oneself. Despite this objection, obligations to oneself have come back in fashion. Immanuel Kant was a proponent of duties to oneself and even criticized his predecessors for failing to fully acknowledge their significance. This project aims to examine whether we still owe something to ourselves by combining the insights of the ongoing debate on duties to oneself, Kant’s views on such duties, and the relevant conceptions in the literature on contemporary moral psychology.

As a postdoctoral researcher you will be part of a research team working on the project. Dependent on your specialization and research interests, carrying out this project will involve the following:
