15 - 17 July 2024, Formal Ethics 2024 (FE2024), Greifswald, Germany
“Formal Ethics” is a common denominator for the application of tools from logic, decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory to the analysis of concepts and theories in moral and political philosophy. It is a rapidly growing field of research that goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, John Harsanyi, Georg Henrik von Wright, and others. The field has recently gained new impetus with formal work on freedom and responsibility, welfare economics and population ethics, deontic logic and natural language semantics, value theory, and the evolution of norms and conventions.
Invited speakers: Justin Bruner (University at Buffalo), Fabrizio Cariani (University of Maryland) and Anne Schwenkenbecher (Murdoch University).
Formal Ethics 2024 will feature a single track for contributed talks of 40-45 minutes. Authors should submit an extended abstract (1000 words max, pdf format) via Easychair. Submissions in all areas of formal ethics, broadly construed, are welcome. Contributions need not be formal in nature but should show familiarity with applying formal tools and results to ethical investigations. We welcome and strongly encourage submissions from members of underrepresented groups, as well as early career researchers and students. All submissions should be prepared for anonymous review.
