Call

We invite submission to the pre-read workshop “Philosophical Moral Psychology: An International Meeting of Classic and Empirically Informed Philosophy”, to be held at LMU Munich from 23 to 25 July 2018. The deadline for submission is 31 January 2018. Keynotes will be given by

• Ophelia Deroy (LMU Munich and IP London),

• Chandra Sripada (University of Michigan), and

• Gary Watson (University of Southern California).

Topic

Philosophical moral psychology deals with concepts and phenomena that have long been subject of philosophical and empirical investigations. Whilst research has for a long time proceeded in parallel, in recent decades a young generation of philosophers has entered the scene who approaches issues in moral psychology by combining classical philosophical and empirical methodology. The main aim of the workshop is to initiate an ongoing discussion between philosophers who work on classical and empirical philosophical moral psychology, respectively.

Authors of accepted papers will benefit from an in-depth discussion of their paper and feedback from experts in their respective field. We encourage submissions on all topics in philosophical moral psychology (broadly construed), including, for example, agency, moral responsibility, moral cognition, moral motivation, self-control, weakness of will, addiction, emotions, andsocial interaction.

This workshop is jointly organized by Hannah Altehenger (Bielefeld), Leonhard Menges (Salzburg), and Nora Heinzelmann (LMU) and will be supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
