DESCRIPTION:<p>Dogmatism is typically understood by reference to justification\, namely as a refusal to rationally evaluate and update one&rsquo\;s beliefs and other commitments. In addition\, however\, research on concepts\, narratives\, and social perspectives has identified other sources of constraint that limit epistemic agency in a problematic fashion. The aim of this workshop is&nbsp\;to reframe and explore the problem of dogmatism&nbsp\;in terms of these various constraints that do not primarily operate on the level of belief.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In particular\, the workshop&nbsp\;brings together two lines of inquiry that investigate concepts but have not been systematically explored together. On the one hand\, conceptual ethics and conceptual engineering (CE) study the normative questions &ldquo\;What concepts should we use and why?&rdquo\;. On the other\, a particular strand in the scholarship on genealogy emphasizes that people often\, perhaps typically\, do not fully understand the concepts they use\, for instance\, the underlying values and inferential commitments a given concept incorporates. If this is correct\, then the rational control over concepts\, which CE tends to take for granted\, is not automatically available to concept-users but rather needs to be acquired. And consequently there is a task of consciousness raising whose primary focus is not beliefs but concepts\, including the narratives and social perspectives that congeal and motivate a given conceptual repertoire.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The workshop investigates how we should understand the nature\, goal\, and motivation of this task of consciousness raising\, as well as its relationship to the justification of beliefs.</p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p><strong>June 25th</strong></p>\n\n<p>10:00-11:15</p>\n<p><strong>Hannah Ginsborg</strong></p>\n<p>Primitive Normativity as a Condition of Understanding</p>\n\n<p>11:30-12:45</p>\n<p><strong>Julian Ratcliffe</strong></p>\n<p>Conceptual Agency</p>\n\n<p>15:00-16:15</p>\n<p><strong>Paulina Sliwa</strong></p>\n<p>On Perspectival Flexibility</p>\n\n<p><strong>June 26th</strong></p>\n\n<p>10:00-11:15</p>\n<p><strong>Catarina Dutilh Novaes</strong></p>\n<p>Conspiratorial Beliefs and Epistemic Agency:</p>\n<p>The Limits of 'Rational Debunking'</p>\n\n<p>11:30-12:45</p>\n<p><strong>David Plunkett</strong></p>\n<p>Ethical Inquiry with Non-Epistemic Aims?</p>\n<p>(Co-authored with Tristram McPherson)</p>\n\n<p>15:00-16:15</p>\n<p><strong>Tuomo Tiisala</strong></p>\n<p>Blind Rule-Following as Structural Heteronomy:</p>\n<p>Against Acceptance-Based Accounts of Social Reality</p>
