"Disagreements: from Theory to Practice"

11-13 Mar 2020
Tartu, Estonia

Conference "Disagreements: from Theory to Practice"
University of Tartu, March 11th -13th, 2020

The theoretical aspects of disagreements in fields such as ontology, 
logic, epistemology, and ethics have already received extensive treatment 
in the philosophical literature. There is a plethora of views debated at 
an increased level of sophistication at a very high level of abstraction 
(e.g. conciliationist vs steadfast views in the epistemology of 
disagreement). What is much less discussed are the practical consequences 
of these theoretical models of disagreement. The conference 
?Disagreements: from Theory to Practice? aims to bridge the gap between 
theory and practice and inquire into the implications of theoretical 
positions for real life disagreements. Our confirmed speakers include 
Margit Sutrop, Daniel Cohnitz and Folke Tersman.

We welcome abstracts on this broad theme. Possible presentation topics 
include but are not limited to the following:

*    Value conflicts and how to resolve them
*    Laypeople and disagreement among experts
*    Disagreement and scientific consensus
*    Metaethical disagreements
*    Moral expertise and moral disagreement
*    Introspective disagreements
*    Practical implications of views in the epistemology of disagreement
*    Practical implications of views in the metaphysics of disagreement
*    Deep disagreements and practice
*    Political disagreements

Abstracts should not be longer than 500 words and be prepared for blind 
review. The submission deadline for abstracts is January 15th. The 
abstracts should be submitted to the following email address: 
disagreements2020@ut.ee
