CFP: Debunking Arguments in Moral Philosophy

Posted in CFP, Connections, tagged , , , on May 30, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Conference on Debunking Arguments in Moral Philosophy

Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen, Germany

October 3-4, 2014

Invited Speakers
Markus Christen (Zurich)
Thomas Grundmann (Cologne)
Christian Illies (Bamberg)
Richard Joyce (Wellington)
Carel van Schaik (Zurich)

Conference topic

Debunking arguments follow the logic of ‘you just believe that because…’. They are meant to undermine the justification of a belief by showing the belief to have a dubious causal history. While genealogical critiques are often decried as genetic fallacies, recent years have seen a renaissance of genetic debunking arguments, particularly in moral philosophy. Proponents of such arguments, most prominently Richard Joyce, Peter Singer, Joshua Greene and Sharon Street, draw on empirical assumptions about the origins of moral cognition to undermine the justification of certain ethical views.
The aim of the conference is to assess the merits and limitations of moral debunking arguments from various perspectives.

Poroi vol. 10. no. 1 published

Posted in Communication, Connections, Discourse Analysis, Rhetoric, tagged , , on February 22, 2014| Leave a Comment »

POROI 10.1 contains articles by Celeste Condit, G. Thomas Goodnight, and Joshua Welsh.  They are linked by a thematic concern with how new technologies affect common sense and deliberation. Condit, University of Georgia, suggests that digital communication can become an effective means of deliberation and decision. Welsh, Central Washington University, contrasts Aristotle’s negative attitude toward the effect of new technologies on common sense with the more welcoming attitude of modern rhetorical theorists. Goodnight, University of Southern California, argues that the architectonic rhetorical theories of modernity must give way in the digital era to “polytechtonic” approaches.The issue also contains reports from the 2013 pre-conference of the Association for the Rhetoric of Science and Technology (ARST).  They are about how rhetorical scholars are working with scientists as communication consultants on funded collaborative research projects. These reports are by Caroline Druschke, University of Rhode Island; Jean Goodwin and her collaborators at Iowa State University; Sara Parks, Iowa State University; John Reif, University of Pittsburgh; and Kenny Walker, University of Arizona.  The reports are introduced by Jean Goodwin, Iowa State University.  They are commented on by Jamie L. Vernon, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, and Leah Cecarrelli, University of Washington.

POROI welcomes submissions that bring rhetorical invention and criticism to bear on the production, circulation, and consumption of claims to knowledge in all disciplines, professions, communities, and cultures.

CFP: ELISIEM Workshop – Epistemic Logic for Individual, Social, and Interactive Epistemology

Posted in CFP, Connections, Logic, tagged , on January 28, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Via M-Phi

Epistemic Logic is a formal approach to modeling knowledge, belief, and other informational attitudes, developed by logicians, philosophers, computer scientists, AI researchers, economists, linguists, and others. Historically, with its origins in philosophy, epistemic logic promised to illuminate traditional issues of epistemology, the theory of knowledge. In recent years, epistemic logic has been making good on that promise, with important new applications not only to individual epistemology, a traditional focus of philosophers for the last two-and-a-half thousand years, but also in social epistemology, the more recent investigation of the social dimensions of knowledge and information flow, as well as interactive epistemology, the study of knowledge and belief in strategic, game-theoretic situations.
