An international workshop at Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) discusses the articulation of emotions and moral values in the context of theories of moral emotions, moral values and identity staff. The activity is organized by the project Emotional culture and identity of the ICS, which is funded by Zurich Insurance.

One of the main objectives of this activity is to show that the so-called 'moral emotions', as interpersonal and therefore social experiences, play a very important role in the constitution and revelation of the unique person that constitutes each individual.

The workshop brings together experts from five countries on March 8 and 9 to discuss topics such as the relationship between vulnerability and moral emotions, the analysis of specific moral emotions such as compassion, the possibility of considering feeling as a field of action or the historical understanding of moral emotions in philosophers such as Franz Brentano and Kazimierz Twardowski.

Speakers include Peter McCormick, member of the Royal Society of Canada; permanent member of the Institut International de Philosophie in Paris; and Professor Emeritus of the Chair of Ethics "Fürst Franz-Josef und Fürstin Gina" of the Internationale Akademie für Philosophie of the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Also speaking are Martin Cajthaml, professor of department of Philosophy and Patrology at School of Theology at Palacký University Olomouc in the Czech Republic; Czeslaw Porebski, professor of Philosophy at high school of programs of study Europeans at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow; Ignacio Quepons, PhD in Philosophy from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and researcher postdoctoral fellow at Seattle University since 2014; and Mariano Crespo, researcher of project 'Emotional culture and identity' and organizer of the workshop.
