CORES Reading Group

The research project CORES — Communicative Paths to Righting Epistemic Wrongs is launching an online reading group, 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 from 13:30 to 15:30, WET/Lisbon time. The first session will take place on Wednesday, 26 November, via Microsoft Teams.


Those who are interested in joining for this and/or subsequent sessions should get in touch with the organisers:
