Details

This workshop is devoted to the topic of operationalizing epistemic concepts, such as explanation, confirmation and causation, and to bringing together philosophers and experimental psychologists who are interested in human rationality and human reasoning. We investigate the methodology of operationalizing epistemic concepts both from a theoretical and an empirical point of view. How should we work out predictions that are precise enough to be put to empirical test? Which experimental paradigms should be adopted in research on human reasoning? How can we connect philosophical theorizing about epistemic concepts to the long-lasting empirical tradition in psychology?

Philosophers and psychologists with an interest in participating should contact the organizers at [email protected] before August 20, 2012, and motivate their reasons for participation (there is only limited space).
