Description

The Department of Philosophy at 葫芦影业 is hosting an academic conference on the topic of 鈥楨xplaining Normativity鈥�. This exciting two-day conference will be taking place on the 19th-20th April 2024. 

This event is supported by Teemu Toppinen's Projects 鈥楨xpressivism and Transcendental Arguments鈥� and 鈥楺uasi-Realism鈥�, both of which are funded by The Research Council of Finland. We are immensely grateful to our friends from Finland for supporting this conference happening here at 葫芦影业.

Speakers:

  • James Brown (葫芦影业): 鈥淏eyond the Cognitivism-Noncognitivism Distinction in Metaethics鈥�   
  • Felicity Fu (Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou): 鈥淭roubles for Moral Sentimentalism鈥�
  • Max Hayward (葫芦影业): "Silence, or, "Silence!"? Two ways to be a Metaethical Quietist"
  • Jessica Isserow (Leeds): 鈥淲hy Morality isn鈥檛 a Trump Card: Overridingness and Friendship鈥�
  • James Lenman (葫芦影业): 鈥淣ormative Justification: Where is Bedrock?鈥�

  • Teemu Toppinen (Tampere) & Vilma Venesmaa (Tampere): 鈥淓xplaining Open Question Intuitions鈥�
  • Pekka V盲yrynen (Leeds): 鈥淢ake It Right鈥�

On the Friday and Saturday evenings of the conference, speakers will be going out for an evening meal at a local restaurant (we will pick one that provides well for vegans). Delegates who are not speakers are very welcome to join but will have to settle their own bill with the restaurant. There is space on the above google form to indicate whether you intend to join us for dinner, and if you have any dietary requirements.

If you have any questions, please contact Ed Matthews - e.p.matthews@sheffield.ac.uk or Jimmy Lenman - j.lenman@sheffield.ac.uk 

We hope to see you there!
