This workshop is on Amie Thomasson&rsquo\;s forthcoming book\, Rethinking Metaphysics\, which challenges the traditional conception of metaphysics as a discipline that seeks to uncover general and fundamental truths about the world and proposes in its place a conception according to which metaphysics does important descriptive and normative conceptual work. Speakers include Viktoria Knoll\, Emilie Pagano\, Matthew Simpson\, Amie Thomasson\, and Alice van't Hoff. \;
\nThe workshop will consist of four 75-minute sessions\, with each session devoted to a part of Thomasson&rsquo\;s book. Each of the sessions will begin with a brief synopsis of the relevant chapters and critical remarks from one of the commentators\, followed by a response from Thomasson. The remaining time will then be devoted to discussion.
