Doxastic Agency & Epistemic Responsibility

2-3 Jun 2014
Bochum, Germany

Workshop: Doxastic Agency & Epistemic Responsibility

When: 02.-03. June 2014

Where: Beckmanns Hof, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany


The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts who are working in the
areas of doxastic agency, belief-revision theory, epistemic deontologism,
and epistemic justification, and to discuss recent advances regarding the
interplay between doxastic agency and epistemic responsibility. The workshop
addresses questions such as: do we have the same kind of control over our
beliefs as we have over our actions, what kind of control do we have over
our doxastic attitudes and how is epistemic responsibility related to
notions such as epistemic justification and practical responsibility?
