Edouard Machery (Pittsburgh): Dogmatism and Parochialism

Zum Vortrag:

In this talk (based on chapter 4 of Philosophy Within Its Proper Bounds) I describe the method of cases - a prominent method in much of philosophy - and I present two arguments based on experimental - philosophy findings that undermine its use in philosophy: Dogmatism and Parochialism.

Zum Sprecher:

He is also involved in the development of experimental philosophy, doing empirical research on moral psychology, semantics, and folk epistemology, often with a cross-cultural focus. - In the last years his career brought him to Korea Institute for Advanced Studies (2013), Washington University in St. Louis (2015) and the University of Edinburgh and Tsinghua University, Peking (2017).
