Details

The overall theme of the workshop concerns the ways that production of knowledge and justified belief is generated through social collaboration. More specifically, we are interested in the epistemological issues that arise when people engaged in such collaboration disagree or in other ways are marked by epistemic diversity.

Confirmed speakers:

  • Jessica Brown (St. Andrews): Anti-intellectualism, Memory, and Testimony
  • Kathrine Hawley (St. Andrews): Asserting and Speculating
  • Mikkel Gerken (Copenhagen): What we talk about when we talk about knowledge
  • Kristoffer Ahlström (Kent): Deference as a Virtue
  • Klemens Kappel (Copenhagen): What is the problem of deep disagreement?
  • Andreas Stokke (Lisbon): Does testimonial knowledge require sincerity?

Organizers: Klemens Kappel, Mikkel Gerken and Kristoffer Ahlström as a part of the research priority area Deference, Testimony and Diversity, funded by Institute of Media, Cognition and Communication.  

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the workshop, there will be some slots open for submitted papers, though unfortunately we are not able to cover travel costs or accommodation for other than invited participants. If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send title and 1 page abstract Klemens Kappel ([email protected]) no later than October 22, 2012.
