Work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/secl\/researchcentres\/practical-normativity\/events\/index.html?eid=26967\">has focused on many interrelated topics and questions<\/a> such as: <em>Reasons and their Ground<\/em>; <em>Conceptual Priority<\/em>; <em>Reasons, Motivations and Actions<\/em>: <em>Reasons and Values<\/em>; <em>Reasons and Nature<\/em>; <em>The Moral and the Epistemic<\/em> and <em>Normativity elsewhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will serve to reflect on much of this recent work in order to extend it in new directions. Abstracts are sought for the conference, asking central question: where do we go from here? The questions we aim to ask include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Has work in aesthetics or philosophy of action or philosophy of language anything to teach us about normativity?<\/li>\n<li>Does it make sense to think of aesthetic prescriptions, for example, and if so what does reflection on these demands tell us about normativity in general?<\/li>\n<li>Has recent work on group intention and action anything to teach us about normativity and reasons in general?<\/li>\n<li>Are certain, central notions \u2013 such as \u2018standard\u2019, \u2018intention\u2019, \u2018demand\u2019 &#8211; at all clear enough?<\/li>\n<li>How is the notion of normativity understood in recent social or cognitive science literature, including psychology, and does that have anything to teach us?<\/li>\n<li>In what ways can debates from the history of philosophy point us towards fruitful future explorations?<\/li>\n<li>Is the notion of normativity as important a framing device for thought and debates as current philosophical fashion assumes? How central to philosophical thought should the notion of \u2018reason\u2019 be?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We welcome thinkers who work across all areas of analytic philosophy and its history. It is our intention to have a number of open sessions at the conference. Speakers will be given 30 minute slots: a 20 minute presentation with 10 minute Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n<p>Abstracts should be 1,000 words in length and may be on any topic related to the conference theme.<\/p>\n<p>Please email them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/secl\/philosophy\/staff\/kirchin.html\">Dr Simon Kirchin<\/a>, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/secl\/philosophy\/index.html\">Department of Philosophy<\/a>, at <a href=\"mailto:S.T.Kirching@kent.ac.uk\">S.T.Kirchin@kent.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The deadline for submission is Thursday <strong>1 February 2018<\/strong>.
