on the conference

!"#$%&#'!"(&)&"'&#
*)!+),-#
Since approximately twenty years social
epistemology is a vibrant field in epistemology. But
what exactly is social epistemology? How should we
conceive of it? Which problems are pursued in it and
what are its prospects for further development? These
questions delineate the large field of the first section
of the 2nd Berlin Conference on Meta-Epistemology.
The second section deals with the social
space
of
reasons.
What
is
social-epistemic
scorekeeping? Are there special connections between
certain forms of knowledge and sociality?
The third section focuses on the epistemology
of testimony. What are significant features in the
history of epistemology of testimony? What makes it
reasonable to accept a piece of testimony? How is
testimony related to epistemic trust?
The fourth and final section is dedicated to
the rather new and growing field of epistemology of
disagreement. Why is disagreement in epistemology
especially important? How should we cope with
disagreement
in
epistemology
and
which
epistemological moral can be drawn from it? - The
conference is supposed to deliver some new and
controversial answers to all these questions.
