Keynote speakers: Stephen Grimm (Fordham) Allan Hazlett (WU, St. Louis) Soazig Le Bihan (Montana) Tania Lombrozo (Princeton) The dawn of the XXI century saw the beginning of an explosion of interest in the nature of the precious cognitive achievement that goes by the ordinary name of “understanding”. Two and a half decades later, the literature produced by epistemologists, philosophers of science, cognitive psychologists, has shed so much light on so many aspects and manifestations of the diverse forms that understanding can take, that it feels appropriate to ask where our understanding of understanding stands at the present, after all those contributions. This conference aims to address that very general question by calling for papers that tackle any of the following more specific questions and related ones: - What distinguishes understanding from knowledge, explanation, and interpretation? - Is understanding an epistemically privileged cognitive state? what grounds this privilege? - What are the theoretical vs. practical dimensions of understanding? How do they interact/inform each other? - How can recent advances in cognitive science, AI, or data science challenge traditional views on understanding? - What novel frameworks or theories offer promising directions for studying understanding in diverse contexts (scientific, social, ethical)? - How does understanding vary across different disciplines, cultures, and historical contexts? - Can diverse epistemic traditions contribute to a more pluralistic view of understanding? - How do practical activities (like craftsmanship or performing arts) contribute to our understanding of complex concepts? - What role should embodied, tacit, or skill-based knowledge play in our theoretical models of understanding? Selected papers will enjoy one-hour slots: 30 minutes for presentation and 30 minutes for Q&A. ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS: Abstracts should be prepared for blind review and be 700-1000 words long. An additional file should include the title, author’s name, and affiliation. *Both files must be sent to [email protected] <[email protected]> . * Any inquiries concerning this conference should be sent to the same email address. *Scientific Committee:*Atocha Aliseda-Llera (UNAM) Catherine Elgin (Harvard) Luis Estrada González (UNAM) Insa Lawler (UNC Greensboro) Federica Malfatti (Innsbruck) Andrei Ionuț Mărășoiu (Bucharest) Michael Strevens (NYU) *Organizers:*María del Rosario Martínez-Ordaz (UNAM) Miguel Ángel Fernández-Vargas (UNAM) Ana Rosa Pérez Ransanz (UNAM) Pedro Stepanenko Gutiérrez (UNAM) *Deadline for submissions: March 31, 2025.*Conference date: June 23-25, 2025 -- *María del Rosario Martínez-Ordaz* Postdoctoral fellow Institute for Philosophical Research-UNAM Secretaría de Ciencia, Humanidades, Tecnología e Innovación (SECIHTI) www.mariamartinezordaz.com/ -- LOGICA-L Lista acadêmica brasileira dos profissionais e estudantes da área de Lógica <[email protected]> --- Você está recebendo esta mensagem porque se inscreveu no grupo "LOGICA-L" dos Grupos do Google.
