SUMMARY:Symposium of the Swiss Philosophical Socie
 ty 2023: Concepts & Their Uses, Bern, Switzerland
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230828
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230830
LOCATION:Bern, Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:Philosophical knowledge is often descr
 ibed as being conceptual. Therefore, concepts have
  been an important topic in phosophy since Plato’s
  theory of forms. Very recently, the study of conc
 epts has taken new and exciting routes. Experiment
 al philosophers investigate the understanding of c
 oncepts with tools that are unprecedented in philo
 sophy. Drawing on research from the empirical scie
 nces, in particular from psychology, philosophers 
 have taken new approaches to what concepts are and
  do. Finally, an increased awareness of problemati
 c concepts – e.g., concepts that contribute to dis
 crimination – has helped to establish the new fiel
 d of conceptual ethics. Against this backdrop, the
  symposium of the Swiss Philosophical Society aims
  at bringing together and discussing new work on c
 oncepts. In this way, we also hope to reflect upon
  the self-understanding of philosophy and upon the
  contribution that work on concepts can make in br
 oader society.
