Constitutivism in Ethics and Epistemology
\nUniversity of Lisbon\, Lisbon\, Portugal - September 4&ndash\;6\, 2025
Constitutivism is the view that the normative standards for something are based in its nature. In ethics\, the view is that the standards for human action are based in the nature of our action. In epistemology\, the view is that the standards for belief are based in the nature of belief. This conference aims to investigate the promise and power for constitutivism in ethics and epistemology\, individually and together. Both papers developing the constitutivist view and those critical of it are welcome.
\nIn addition to the invited speakers\, there are 4 open places for speakers. Please submit a long abstract of no more than 1000 words\, anonymized for review\, to constitutivism.lisboa.2025@gmail.com\, no later than January 31st\, 2025.
\nAccommodation and dinners for speakers will be covered by conference funds\, but we cannot help with travel.
\nPapers presented at the conference will be considered for a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Philosophy\, who are generously partially funding the conference. Deadline for submission of final drafts of the papers will be December 31st\, 2025.
\nThe conference is hosted at the Centre of Philosophy of the University of Lisbon.
