LOCATION:Geneva, Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:Recent work in the philosophy of knowl
 edge has lead to a rediscovery -or a rethinking---
  of the relationships between knowledge and action
 . What is the role of knowledge in the explanation
  of action and in practical reasoning? To what ext
 ent do knowers have to be agents and can knowledge
  be defined in relation to what the knower does? A
 re beliefs and judgements in some sense actions? A
 re there connexions between epistemic reasons and 
 practical reasons, and if there are, what are they
 ? Is there a difference between knowledge and the 
 activity of inquiry? These are, in a sense, tradit
 ional questions, which have also a long record wit
 hin the pragmatist tradition, from Peirce and Rams
 ey to Isaac Levi, and which can be examined from m
 any angles, from epistemology to philosophy of min
 d and issues about practical reasoning or meta-eth
 ics. The aim of this conference, which is to exami
 ne these issues from a number of aspects, starting
  from the question: can there be epistemic agency 
 ?   More details at: http://www.unige.ch/lettres/p
 hilo/evenements/2008/EpistemicAgency.html.   Paper
