Conference Overview

We are pleased announce the Scottish Network for Normative Philosophy’s Workshop on Epistemology & Normativity. The Scottish Network for Normative Philosophy is dedicated to promoting the research of contemporary Scottish philosophers on normative themes, and this is the second of three workshops. The first was held in Edinburgh in June 2009 on Practical Reasoning, while the third will be in Glasgow in Autumn 2010 on normative themes in perception and emotion. This workshop will be held at the University of Stirling, in the Court Room, on Friday October 9th & Saturday October 10th, 2009.

We are grateful to the Carnegie Foundation, Scots Phil Club and the Stirling Department of Philosophy for their generous support of this event.
