Collective and Individual Epistemology
2022-12-05 10:15 - 2022-12-06 17:00 (Europe/London) | Leeds, United Kingdom
This workshop is organised by the ERC-funded research project Group Thinking: New Foundations (natureofrepresentation.wordpress.com) at the University of Leeds. This workshop will be hybrid with both in-person and online participation.

We have invited epistemologists who have worked in individual epistemology as well as collective epistemology to explore meta-epistemological questions such as:

-

Should we use the same concepts in individual and collective epistemology?

-

Should collective epistemologists take insights made in individual epistemology seriously, and vice versa?

-

Is there a methodological difference in doing individual and collective epistemology?

-

What is the relation between individual and collective epistemic states ?

-

Should we think of collective epistemic attitudes as being summative/deflationary or non-summative/inflationary?
