Registration is open for The Royal Institute of Philosophy Conference 2017 which will take place at the University of Sheffield on the topic of ‘Harms and Wrongs in Epistemic Practice’ on July 3-4.
How we engage in epistemic practice, including our methods of knowledge acquisition and transmission, the personal traits that help or hinder these activities, and the social institutions that facilitate or impede them, is of central importance to our lives as individuals and as participants in social and political activities. In the past decade, sustained philosophical attention has turned to the various ways in which this practice can and does go awry, and the epistemic, moral, and political harms and wrongs that follow. This conference brings together theorists working on a diverse variety of topics to draw attention to the full range of these harms and wrongs, the ways in which they interact, and the ways in which they can be addressed.
In addition to talks from the invited speakers there will be a dedicated poster session showcasing new directions in research on the conference theme.
Attendance is free and by registration only.
