International symposia have been organised around his most recent books, The Ethics of Capital Punishment: A Philosophical Investigation of Evil and Its Consequences (OUP, 2011) and Torture and Moral Integrity: A Philosophical Enquiry (OUP, 2014), and these events have led to significant publications in leading journals.
Matthew is the Director of the Cambridge Forum for Legal and Political Philosophy. The Forum promotes discussion and exchanges on topics within legal and philosophical philosophy, and has played a central organizational role in the organization of the annual UK Analytic Legal & Political Philosophy Conference since the first conference in 2008.
