Workshop Announcement: "The Experimental Philosophy of Morality and Causation ? Perspectives from Philosophy, Psychology, and Law" The Ruhr University Bochum and the Experimental Philosophy Group Germany are happy to announce a one-day workshop on Experimental Philosophy which will take place on Tuesday, 13 June 2017 at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. Over the last two decades, philosophers have taken an increasing interest in experimental approaches to philosophical questions. Experimental philosophers use tools from a variety of empirical sciences, such as psychology, sociology, linguistics, and neurosciences to engage with questions as diverse as: ? How do people make moral judgments? ? What factors influence people?s moral intuitions? ? How robust are moral intuitions? ? What is justice? ? How to people conceive of causal relations in the world? ? What role do causal judgments play for the attribution of moral responsibility? ? Are philosophers the right people to actually give answers to all these questions? In this workshop, we would like to address these issues. Just in the spirit of experimental philosophy, we believe that the best progress is made by joining forces from different disciplines. We therefore invited seven speakers from philosophy, psychology, and law. Keynote speaker: Edouard Machery (University of Pittsburgh) Invited speakers: Neele Engelmann (University of Goettingen) Joachim Horvath (University of Cologne) Lara Kirfel (University College London) Stefan Magen (Ruhr University Bochum) Albert Newen (Ruhr University Bochum) Karolina Prochownik (Jagiellonian University Krakow) Alex Wiegmann (University of Goettingen) Pascale Willemsen (Ruhr University Bochum) When: Tuesday, 13 June 2017, 09:15 - 6:15 pm Where: Ruhr University Bochum, Room: FNO 01/171 Organizers: Pascale Willemsen and Albert Newen If you?d like to participate or have any questions, please send an email to: experimental-philosophy@rub.de <mailto:experimental-philosophy@rub.de> For further information, please check: https://www.rub.de/philosophy/Exp_Phi_2017 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1665519737036171/?fref=ts https://sites.google.com/site/xphigroupgermany/home https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/philosophy/staff/newen/index.html -- Tetiana Adler Sekretariat Prof. Dr. A.
