Event details
The first event associated with the AHRC-funded Southampton-based project, Normativity: Epistemic and Practical, will be a one-day workshop on Friday 13th June. Confirmed speakers: • Matthew McGrath (Missouri) • Maria Alvarez (KCL) • Baron Reed (Northwestern).
The workshop will focus on the issues of whether/how practical considerations bear on what one ought to believe, and of whether/how epistemic considerations bear on how one ought to act. Questions include, though are not limited to:
- Do the sorts of considerations which provide reasons for action also provide reasons for belief?
- Does the practical importance of what you believe bear on what you should or may believe?
- Is it permissible to have a belief that one ought not to act on?
- Does what one ought to do depend on the facts of one's situation or on the evidence?
Further details about the workshop, including how to register, and a call for respondents will be circulated in due course.
