The Evidence Workshop
Philosophy Department
University of Kent
Canterbury, Kent
4-5 June, 2014
It is usually thought that a rational agent should proportion her beliefs to her evidence—only then will her beliefs be rational, justified, or qualify as knowledge. But just what counts as evidence is often the subject of much controversy. In this workshop, leading philosophers will come together to discuss just what counts as evidence. Special attention will be given to Timothy Williamson’s account of evidence as knowledge.
On 4-5 June, 2014, the Centre for Reasoning and the Southern Normativity Group will hold “The Evidence workshop” at the University of Kent. The workshop was made possible due to funding from the Mind Association, KIASH, and the University of Kent’s School of European Culture and Languages. The organizers are Julien Murzi and Michael Wilde.
