LOCATION:Lincoln College\, Oxford\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>This workshop titled&nbsp\;<em>&ldquo\;For the Love of Wissenschaft?&rdquo\;</em>&nbsp\;seeks to bring together scholars from political theory\, social epistemology\, and social philosophy at large to explore what we think might be a deeply rooted disciplinary divide within political\, social\, and legal philosophy: a divide between theory practiced as a form of political activism and theory committed to the project of social science.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Some of the questions we wish to explore include\, but are not limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Should there be a disciplinary divide in political philosophy between theory as activism and theory as&nbsp\;<em>Wissenschaft</em>? Why or why not?</li>\n<li>What does a metatheory that recognises this distinction look like?&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Is it true that any social theory not aligned with the project of&nbsp\;<em>Wissenschaft</em>&nbsp\;is always &ldquo\;incongruous on its face\,&rdquo\; as Susan Haack suggests?</li>\n<li>What is the proper role of &ldquo\;lived experience&rdquo\; in political inquiry?</li>\n<li>What are the epistemic or social-scientific standards in political theory\, if there are any\, and what should they be?</li>\n<li>If political philosophy is a value-laden project\, what values are we pursuing\, and why?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Time: 10.00 &ndash\; 5.30\, 24th October 2024.</p>\n<p>Location: Turl Yard Lecture Room\, Lincoln College\, University of Oxford</p>
