\n\nThemes
\nHume famously claimed that you can&rsquo\;t get an \;Ought \;from an \;Is\, \; \;a moral conclusion from no-form non-moral premises. \; \;Thus he seems to be proposing a \;barrier to entailment\; \;a claim that you can&rsquo\;t get conclusions of \;one \;kind from premises of \;another. \; \;This conference will be devoted to a critical examination of such claims. \; \;Can you derive conclusions about the future from premises about the past\, conclusions about the external world from premises about present impressions\, general conclusions from particular premises or (more generally) substantively X-conclusions from non-X premises? And what are the philosophical consequences of such barriers to entailment \; \;
\n\nRegistration \;is free but prospective attendees are requested to email Dr Karen Maclean .
