Call for Abstracts: Understanding Value

A Graduate Conference on Value

University of Sheffield

11th-13th July 2012

 With generous support from

The Mind Association and The Analysis Trust

Keynote speakers:
Dr Miranda Fricker, Birkbeck College, University of London
Professor Christopher Hookway, University of Sheffield
Professor Peter Lamarque, University of York

Determining the nature of value is a project that has a bearing on most areas of philosophy. For this reason, we hope to bring together graduate students working on a range of philosophical topics (including ethics, metaethics, aesthetics, epistemology, political philosophy and philosophy of mind) to discuss value. The conference will focus on a discussion of value from the perspective of three philosophical disciplines, broadly construed: (i) ethics; (ii) epistemology; and (iii) aesthetics. We would also welcome cross-disciplinary papers that consider the nature of value from a range of philosophical perspectives, and papers exclusively focussed on value.
