When you are working within a tradition, you lose sight of the most fundamental tradition assumptions. It is only when you look at another tradition, the way they think about responsibility, we can learn to do morality better than the way we are doing it.Professor Monima Chadha, University of Oxford
There's no philosophical tradition that's completely right. They're all wrong in some ways. But the reason they're great philosophical traditions is that they have points of insight.Professor Graham Priest, City University of New York & University of Melbourne
