Degrees in Epistemology and Beyond

Graded notions seem to be central to epistemology (e.g., degrees of belief, degrees of justification, rationality). Yet, they also seem to lead to puzzles and create complications for otherwise very plausible views. Looking beyond epistemology might be useful for a better understanding degrees in epistemology. The present workshop aims to gather researchers from different fields working on gradable aspects/notions. Both descriptive and normative aspects will be covered. We will have talks from epistemologists and researchers working on related topics in metaethics, moral philosophy, philosophy of language, linguistics, and philosophy of mind. The workshop is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation research project on graded epistemology (https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/186137).
