Graham Oddie currently works at the intersection of value theory, logic and metaphysics. His early work was on the concept of truthlikeness (verisimilitude) on which he published the first monograph (Likeness to Truth). In recent years he has been focusing on the nature and structure of value. He is the author of Value Reality and Desire along with numerous articles on value theory. Currently he is collaborating with researchers at the Institute for Futures Studies and at the Universities of Uppsala and Stockholm on two related projects: hidden convergence in ethical theory, and the nature of ambivalence. At SCAS he will be mainly working on the convergence project with Uppsala philosophers, Olle Risberg and Folke Tersman. Ethics has been dominated by competing traditions—consequentialism, contractualism, deontology, and virtue theory—which yield apparently conflicting moral advice. Recently it has been suggested that this apparent conflict conceals a deeper “hidden convergence”—that the best versions of these traditions are moving closer to one another in their overall content. This idea requires an account of closeness or similarity applicable to moral theories.
