DESCRIPTION:The orthodox view regarding private law and\, more specifically
 \, the law of negligence is that it only deals with our rights and duties.
  Hence\, values and civic maturity play no role in private law reasoning. 
 Further­more\, Bernard Williams poses a pugnacious puzzle that arises in 
 regard to civic maturity. If we ask the citizen to ‘take responsibility\
 ,’ then the answer demon­strates precisely that the citizen either has 
 not shown maturity or is not mature. A sign of maturity means taking respo
 nsibility through our realization and re­flections\, not because <i>someo
 ne else has told us to do so</i>. Contra Williams\, I will argue that tort
  law advances <i>proleptic</i> thoughts and ways of engag­ing with values
  so that the citizen inhabits a deliberative-aspirational perspective that
  reflects civic maturity. However\, there is a tension between the idea of
  civic maturity itself and legal responsibility\, and between rights and v
 alues or the good. The lecture will concentrate on this tension and will o
 ffer a solution to either dissolve or mitigate it.\nVortragende: Prof. Ver
