CFP: Call for Registration: Formal Ethics 2017 International Conference

Call for registration:

Formal Ethics 2017 International Conference

Humanities Research Centre, University of York

Wed 21st – Fri 23rd June, 2017.

Formal Ethics applies tools from logic, decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory to the analysis of concepts in moral and political philosophy and to the development of ethical theory. It is a rapidly growing field of research which goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, John Harsanyi, Georg Henrik von Wright and others. The field has recently gained new impetus with formal work on non-classical logic, freedom and responsibility, value theory and the evolution of norms and conventions. It now includes contributions not only from philosophy, but also from economics, computer sciences and linguistics.

The School of Politics, Economics and Philosophy at the University of York is a centre of research in this field and is proud to host the fifth instalment of this conference series.

Keynote Speakers:

Hilary Greaves (Oxford), Luc Bovens (LSE), Wlodek Rabinowicz (York), Antoinette Baujard (Université Jean Monnet).
