DESCRIPTION:<p>Moral responsibility has consistently been a salient issue in disciplines such as&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>the law\, psychology\, psychiatry\, and philosophy. The questions about social\,&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>cognitive\, and psychological constraints on legal and moral responsibility are&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>ever-evolving with advances in technology and knowledge. This conference&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>seeks to address cutting-edge applied issues in moral and legal responsibility.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Confirmed speakers:</p>\n<p>Keynote: Walter Sinnott-Armstrong</p>\n<p>Invited: William Hirstein\, Adina Roskies\, Katrina Sifferd\, Chandra&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Sripada\, Nicole Vincent</p>\n<p>We invite papers that fall under two broad themes.</p>\n<p>1. Understanding moral responsibility based on changes in what we know:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Examples of questions under this theme include\, but are not limited to the&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>following: What are the legal implications of fMRIs in the courtroom? Can&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>neuroscience aid the courtroom in assessing moral responsibility? Do advances&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>in understanding how the mind/brain works change our moral responsibility&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>practices? How do practitioners&rsquo\; underlying assumptions about moral&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>responsibility inform their disciplinary practices?</p>\n<p>2. Understanding moral responsibility in applied contexts: Examples of&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>questions under this theme include\, but are not limited to the following: Do&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>personality disorders\, schizophrenia\, dementia\, or attention-deficit disorder&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>affect moral or legal responsibility? What are the implications for how we draw&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>the distinction between addiction and compulsion? Between weakness of will&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>and compulsion? Are we morally responsible for implicit biases? Are we legally&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>and/or morally responsible for unconscious thought processes?&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>To submit\, please send a 1000-1200 word abstract to the gmail account:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>MRConf2015. The deadline is October 1\, 2014.</p>\n<p>Please address questions to Chris Weigel to the gmail account: weigelch.</p>\n<p><strong>The deadline for submitting abstracts has been extended to&nbsp\;November 1.
