Philosophy at Southampton will host a major international conference, as part of the AHRC-funded ‘Normativity: Epistemic and Practical’ project, from Tuesday the 8th to Thursday the 10th of September 2015. This closing conference aims to bring together the three main themes of the project: substantive connections between epistemic and practical norms, explanatory connections between epistemic and practical norms, and meta-normative problems and proposals. More details, including a call for abstracts, are below the fold.
