Moral Metaphysics at Maryland Workshop (MMaM)

WThe inaugural Moral Metaphysics at Maryland (MMaM) Workshop will be held at the University of Maryland, College Park, on Friday and Saturday, May 30-31, 2025.

We are seeking to showcase new work on the nature of morality and other apparently normative domains (such as rationality, epistemology, social and political, etc.). Work that approaches a normative domain's nature in the spirit of contemporary analytic metaphysics is especially encouraged. Scholars who, inter alia, are unapologetically interested in a normative domain's relationship(s) to essences, gunk, haecceities, difference makers, laws, powers, and other metaphysical exotica will be at home at this workshop.

In addition to the five invited speakers (listed above), there will be at least 2 speakers including on the program and selected on the basis of the quality of submitted abstracts. See the CFP for details about submitting an abstract.

We will be inviting up to 7 additional participants to serve as commentator-chairs. If interested in serving as commentator-chair, please let us know by email: [email protected]
