International Workshop on the Epistemology of Modality



University of Lisbon, Faculty of Letters
29-31 August 2013


http://www.epistemologyofmodality.weebly.com

Van Inwagen once wrote (in his influential paper ‘Modal epistemology’
from 1998) that “modal epistemology is a subject about which little is
known”. Today, the discipline has flourished. A lot has been written
since then and research on the topic continues to be the focus of a
large community of philosophers. We certainly know more today about
the topic than we did in 1998, but it would be daring to say that our
epistemic situation is much better. The discipline has witnessed a
Rationalist Renaissance and is now witnessing what might end up being
an anti-rationalist turn.

This workshop aims to provide a forum for discussion and to reflect,
via the contributed talks and informal discussions, the state of art
of the discipline.

Invited Speakers:
David Chalmers (Australian National University; New York University)
Bob Hale (University of Sheffield; Northern Institute of Philosophy at
Aberdeen; King’s College London)
Sonia Roca-Royes (University of Stirling)
Daniele Sgaravatti (Università dell'Aquila)
Anand Vaidya (San José State University)

Organizers:
João Branquinho (LanCog Group, University of Lisbon) and Sonia
Roca-Royes (University of Stirling).

We invite submissions of long abstracts (1000-2000 words) on any

distributed thus: 50’ talk + 40’ discussion.
For refereeing purposes, abstracts should contain a clear statement of
the thesis that will be defended in the talk as well as of the
argumentative strategy. They should be prepared for blind-refereeing.
