When:
September 2 – 4, 2024
Where:
Department of Philosophy and Political Science, TU Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany
Potential list of topics:
- What is epistemic rationality?
- Is there a unified concept of epistemic rationality?
- Or do we need to bifurcate epistemic rationality into a structural and a substantive dimension? What are the benefits of conceiving epistemic rationality as so bifurcated?
- Can there be instances of rational epistemic akrasia?
- What are epistemic reasons?
- What is the relation between the epistemic and the practical? Does the practical encroach the epistemic?
- How do practical considerations affect ideal epistemology?
- Can there be practical reasons for belief?
- What is higher-order evidence?
- Is higher-order evidence evidence?
- How should we deal with (apparent) epistemic dilemmas involving higher-order evidence?
- What is the nature of suspension? Is suspension sensitive to higher-order evidence?
This is not an exhaustive list of possible topics. Further topics of interest include: the nature of epistemic norms, the source of epistemic normativity; the possibility of epistemic agency; and historical perspectives on all these issues.
