CORES READING GROUP
Organised by the research project CORES — Communicative Paths to Righting Epistemic Wrongs, the reading group is open to researchers of any background with interests in social epistemology, social philosophy of language, and/or political philosophy.
The project’s guiding aim is to explore the fabric and dynamics of wrongdoing in the epistemic and discursive spheres, with a view to better understanding how such wrongs could be put right. It adopts a multi-perspective approach to this objective, by recruiting the conceptual resources, knowledge bodies and outlooks of social and ethics-driven epistemology, social philosophy of language and contemporary political and moral philosophy.
The reading plan will be structured around three question clusters (more information here):
- WHAT gets broken?
- HOW can it be repaired, or put right?
- WHO should do the repairing? Who can?
The reading group will meet online every other Wednesday, always at the same time.
Those who are interested in joining for this and/or subsequent sessions should get in touch with the organisers:
