Call for Papers: Formal Ethics 2012, MCMP, LMU Munich
http://www.formalethics.net

The application of formal tools from logic and rational choice theory to 
the analysis of ethical concepts and theories is a rapidly growing field 
of research. It has shed new light on a variety of concepts that are 
central to ethical theory, such as freedom, responsibility, values, norms, 
and conventions. We invite submissions to Formal Ethics 2012, to be held 
at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy on October 11th to 13th, 
2012. The workshop aims to bring together researchers at the crossroads of 
ethical theory and formal methods.

Aside from the contributed talks, the workshop will feature keynote 
addresses from:

JOHN F. HORTY (Maryland)
SIMON HUTTEGGER (Irvine)
GERHARD SCHURZ (Dsseldorf)
MARTIN VAN HEES (Groningen)
