Formal Ethics 2022, Virtual, 7-8 & 13-14 Jan 2022

Virtual Conference Announcement
Formal Ethics 2022


We are pleased to announce the eighth edition of the Formal Ethics
conference series.  Formal Ethics 2022 will be held online using Zoom
this coming January 7th, 8th, 13th, and 14th (for most time zones).
The keynote address will be given by Matthew Adler (Duke Law School).
In addition, there will be sixteen contributed papers.  Most of the
papers were originally scheduled to be presented at the in-person
Formal Ethics conference that was to be held at Vanderbilt University
in 2020 but that was cancelled because of COVID.

The Planning Committee consists of Constanze Binder (Erasmus
University), Conrad Heilmann (Erasmus University), Paul McNamara
(University of New Hampshire), Olivier Roy (University of Bayreuth),
and John Weymark (Vanderbilt University).

Formal Ethics is a common denominator for the application of tools from
logic, decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory to the
analysis of concepts in moral and political philosophy and to the
development of ethical theory. It is a rapidly growing field of
research that goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, John
Harsanyi, Georg Henrik von Wright, and others. The field has recently
gained new impetus with formal work on non-classical logic, freedom and
responsibility, population ethics, value theory, and the evolution of
norms and conventions.

Previous editions of this conference series were held in Groningen
(2010), Munich (2012), Rotterdam (2014), Bayreuth (2015), York (2017),
and Gent (2019).
