Knowledge in Crisis Social Metaphysics Workshop

The Knowledge in Crisis Social Metaphysics Workshop will be held on June 25-28, 2025 in Vienna, Austria. The workshop is hosted by Central European University (CEU) as part of its Knowledge in Crisis Project, supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). The conference is organized by Asya Passinsky (CEU) and Kevin Richardson (Duke University).

The workshop is about social metaphysics, broadly construed. The workshop will consist of three keynotes and five pre-read sessions. Each of the pre-read sessions will have one speaker and two commentators. The conference uses a three-day (2 full days, 1 half day) schedule.
