Norms, Knowledge, and Language

The Department of Philosophy at Lund University is pleased to invite submissions for a two day workshop on work on how rules or norms figure in epistemology and philosophy of language on the 24th-25th of April. We are accepting submission on all aspects of norms and rule-governance relating to knowledge, language, and judgement, broadly construe. Topics of interest might include (but are not limited to)

• the normativity of meaning, truth, and concept use.
• epistemic norms and the extent and ways in which epistemic interactions are governed by rules/norms.
• problems about rule-following and the establishment/interpretation of epistemic and linguistic norms.
• to what extent judgement is influenced or governed by norms/rules.
• norms and responsibilites of knowledge attributions and claims.

Keynote speakers will be announced shortly.

To submit please send a 500-word abstract no later than February 25th to [email protected]. Abstracts must be anonymised. In the e-mail, please write your full name and affiliation. The word count does not include any references or bibliography.
