Conference Announcement Theme: Globalizing Empirically-Informed Philosophy Type: 2021 Res Philosophica Conference Institution: Department of Philosophy, Saint Louis University Location: Online Date: 18.–19.11.2021 __________________________________________________ The 2021 Res Philosophica Conference, titled Globalizing Empirically-Informed Philosophy, will be held online on November 18 and 19th, 2021. The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars working on the intersections between empirically-informed philosophy and lesser taught philosophical traditions. Empirically-informed philosophy includes both experimental philosophy (philosophers who use experiments to address philosophical questions) and philosophy that draws on results from the sciences, such as psychology, archaeology, or biology. There is a nascent interest on how empirical approaches might bear on philosophical questions outside of the western tradition. For example, to what extent are philosophical intuitions stable across cultures? How can we empirically investigate concepts from Confucian philosophy, such as li and ren? The aim of this conference is to explore how these questions might be approached, to identify future avenues for research, and to examine potentially how the intersection of empirical approaches and non-western philosophical traditions might enhance pedagogical goals as well.
