Is It a Mistake to Attribute Responsibility or Blame to People Seeking Support During a Mental Health Crisis?
This three-day-long graduate conference aims at addressing the broad topic of errors and mistakes from a plurality of philosophical perspectives and research methodologies.
The first day will be devoted to historical and historiographical approaches, hosting presentations on a variety of authors, trends, and periods in the history of philosophy.
On the second day, the focus will shift to debates in the analytic tradition: from metaphysical inquiries to the investigation of perceptual misrepresentation, to issues concerning errors in the formal sciences and how to reason about them.
Finally, on the third day, we will discuss the topic of mistakes drawing on contributions from interdisciplinary connections between philosophy and experimental approaches, cognitive science, and neuroscience.
Contributions will address the topic of mistakes broadly conceived, including, but not limited to:
Category mistakes
Non-sequiturs
Formal and informal fallacies
Truth, falsehood, and correspondence
Modal mistakes
Violations of grounding relations
Skepticism and perceptive mistakes
Mistakes and epistemic self-doubt
Mistakes in assumptions and presupposition
Mistakes and rhetorical persuasion
Mistakes and serendipity
Cognitive biases
Misinformation and mechanisms of vigilance
Irrational beliefs, delusions, and hallucinations
Attentional lapses and error-related brain activity
False memories and self-deception
