SUMMARY:What Do We Do When We Do Metaphysics?  - Methods\, Limitations\, and Consequences
UID:20260607T004016Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/Berlin
LOCATION:Schadowplatz 14\, Düsseldorf\, Germany\, 40212
DESCRIPTION:<p>Taken into account that metaphysics is hard to define and its methods are controversial\, the need for meta-metaphysics as an additional discipline seems urgent. &nbsp\;Meta-metaphysics is there to understand what we are actually doing when we are asking metaphysical questions like: What are laws of nature? What are properties? What are social kinds? How do objects persist through time? Does the self exist? The task of meta-metaphysics is thus to discuss if and how the almost endless list of metaphysical questions can be answered.</p>\n<p>In our workshop\, we are interested in finding answers to questions like the following: What methods can be used to answer (certain) metaphysical questions? Are there metaphysical questions that cannot be answered? Are metaphysical concepts value-laden? We hope to bring together various contemporary analytic perspectives on these meta-metaphysical issues including examples of the application of individual methods (both historically and contemporary).&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Keynote speakers:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sophie Allen (Keele)</li>\n<li>Jiri Benovsky (Fribourg)</li>\n<li>Richard Woodward (Hamburg)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The conference will be held from 30/08/2018 to 31/08/2018 at Heinrich Heine University&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Haus der Universit&auml\;t&rdquo\; in the heart of the city.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The workshop is organized by Till Gallasch\, Paul Hasselku&szlig\;\, Sara Ipakchi and Jessica Struchhold (D&uuml\;sseldorf)\, and generously supported by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities\, the German Society for Analytic Philosophy (GAP)\, and Professor Markus Schrenk (D&uuml\;sseldorf) of the DFG Group Inductive Metaphysics (FOR2495).</p>\n<p>We encourage MA and PhD students to participate.&nbsp\;</p>
