SUMMARY:Formal Modeling in Social Epistemology, Ti
 lburg, Netherlands
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20081009
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20081010
LOCATION:Tilburg, Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Social epistemology is a relatively ne
 w and booming field of research. It studies the so
 cial dimension of the pursuit of acquiring true be
 liefs and requires philosophical as well as sociol
 ogical and economical expertise. The insights gain
 ed in social epistemology are not only of theoreti
 cal interest -- they also improve our understandin
 g of social and political processes as the field i
 ncludes the analysis of group deliberation and gro
 up decision making. Surprisingly, little work has 
 yet been done on the epistemic properties of group
  deliberation, belief aggregation and decision-mak
 ing procedures. This workshop aims at closing this
  gap with the help of formal models that ideally c
 ombine representational adequacy with instructive 
 analytical results. To this end, we welcome contri
 butions from all relevant fields of research.   Fo
 r more information, see http://www.tilburguniversi
 ty.nl/faculties/humanities/tilps/FMP2008/  We invi
 te submissions of extended abstracts of up to 1500
  words through our automatic submission system by 
 1 August 2008. Decisions will be made by 15 August
  2008.
