Welcome!

Please join us on February 22-23, 2020 as the Philosophy Department at the University of Cincinnati hosts the Complexity, Social Cognition, and Social Explanation workshop.

Our speakers will include

Sally Haslanger (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Gaile Pohlhaus (Miami University, Ohio)

Angela Potochnik (University of Cincinnati)

Deborah Tollefsen (University of Memphis)

Anthony Chemero (University of Cincinnati)

The workshop will examine the implications of endorsing complexity theory, especially in the philosophical debates around social cognition, social explanation, and social change. The workshop will bring together scholars working on projects related to the epistemic, cognitive, and explanatory aspects of conceptual frameworks that aim to guide our moral responses to complex social problems and lead to social change.
