Details

This two-day workshop brings together an international group of researchers whose work in one form or other bears on conceptions of public reason and public justification. This is the second installment of a joint initiative on the theme by Thomas M. Besch (Wuhan University) and Paul Patton (The University of New South Wales), developed in the context of an agreement to collaborate between Wuhan Philosophy and the School of Humanities and Languages at UNSW. A first workshop on the theme took place at UNSW in 2016.

Speakers/talk titles:

Robbie Arrell: “Public Reason and Pregnancy”

Thomas M. Besch: “On Robust Discursive Equality”

Ben Cross: “Is public reason unrealistic, and if so, how?”

Paul Patton: “The Content of Public Reason: Normative and Empirical Dimensions”
