SUMMARY:The Ethical Challenge of Multidisciplinarity: Reconciling ‘The Three Narratives’—Art\, Science\, and Philosophy
UID:20260711T223146Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Nicosia\, Cyprus
DESCRIPTION:<p>Language&mdash\;and by extension our story\ntelling activities in general&mdash\;enables usto confront\nthe contingencies of life by answering the immediate question: what&rsquo\;s happening\nand what is going to happen next. Science also attempts to answer this\nquestion. However\, there appears to be&mdash\;at least in the western cultural\ntradition&mdash\;a fundamental tension between the literary-artistic and the\nscientific projects: whereas the artist seeks to recreate human experience\,\nthereby evoking basic ethical issues\, the scientist seeks ethically-neutral\,\nevidence-based facts\, as the constituents of our knowledge of reality. It is\nthus left to others&mdash\;to the philosopher\, theologian\, critic\, or historian&mdash\;to\nbridge the theoretical and ethical gaps between the world of &lsquo\;fiction&rsquo\; and the\nworld of &lsquo\;fact&rsquo\;\, of art and science. Among other things\, the ever increasing\nrate of production of scientific data in the modern age poses a new\nmultidisciplinary challenge: how to address the unresolved/unresolvable\ntensions between the language of normativity and the language of facticity. </p>\n\n<p>If you would like to participate in the conference by presenting a\npaper in one or more of the workshops please note the following:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Length of Paper</strong></p>\n<p>Papers should not exceed 3000 words or 10 double spaced pages\,\nincluding Notes.
