Call for Papers Formal Ethics 2015, July 3-5 University of Bayreuth, Germany http://formalethics.net The formal analysis of ethical concepts and theories (via the application of tools from logic, rational choice theory, natural language semantics, AI) 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. The series Formal Ethics conferences aims at providing an international platform for the discussion and promotion of formal approaches to ethics and to push the frontiers of the research being conduced in this field. For information about previous Formal Ethics conferences, please take a look at http://2014.formalethics.net. The program, tutorial, and working session links there will provide some indication of the breadth of possible topics and formal approaches. We invite submissions to Formal Ethics 2015, to be held at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, from July 3 to 5, 2015. The workshop aims to bring together researchers who are employing formal tools to address questions in ethics and/or political philosophy.
