She writes, \u201cTwo questions guide this book: (1) Whom and what do I touch when I touch my dog? and (2) How is \u2018becoming with\u2019 a practice of becoming worldly?\u201d   Without a context in which to situate and interpret these animating investigations, the claim that Haraway\u2019s project has relevancy to work being done in the academic sub-discipline of moral philosophy might seem like a far stretch.  My paper aims to bring about an interspecies encounter between Haraway and contemporary ethical theorists concerning the task of attending to and coping with the non-innocence of daily practices involving the instrumental use of non-human animals.  I elucidate Haraway\u2019s contention that human beings ought to practice an ethics of discomfort and suggest ways in which moral philosophers might productively take up this claim in work on the virtue of moral response and on the psychological dimensions of well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentation by Katharine Schweitzer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":992,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-friday-philosophy-forum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/gpse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
