International Workshop
Rules, Norms, and Reasons 2 - The Metaphysics of Normativity: Old Answers to New Questions
May 22nd-23rd, 2023
Aula Crociera Alta di Studi Umanistici, Cortile Ghiacciaia, Via Festa del Perdono, 7, Milano.
Presentation
What is the nature of normativity? What is the relation between normative facts, e.g. moral facts, and non-normative facts, e.g. facts about our psychology? Can normative facts be reduced to non-normative facts? Do they supervene on them? Does the non-normative ground the normative? These are all questions in the metaphysics of normativity, and this workshop wants to discuss them with an eye to the philosophical tradition - since we believe that the philosophical tradition can not only help us to answer such questions, but also to rethink some of the unquestioned assumptions of the relevant debates.The workshop is the second in a series of workshops on the nature of normativity hosted by the Piero Martinetti Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan, and it will be held on May 22-23, 2023. The website of the first workshop is here. Invited SpeakersCarla Bagnoli (Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia), Terence Cuneo (University of Vermont), Kenneth Walden (Darthmouth College).
