SUMMARY:"The Epistemology of Liberal Democracy" (2
 nd Copenhagen  Epistemology conference), Copenhage
 n, Denmark
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100819

LOCATION:Copenhagen, Denmark
DESCRIPTION:We tend to think of liberal democracy 
 as providing the most ethically defensible way to 
 set up a modern society. A separate yet highly rel
 evant issue is whether liberal democracies also ar
 e preferable from an epistemological perspective, 
 i.e., from the point of view of promoting true ove
 r false belief, knowledge over ignorance, and so o
 n. The purpose of this conference-and of the resea
 rch project that it is part of-is to investigate t
 he norms, practices, and institutions that determi
 ne how belief and knowledge is acquired and transm
 itted in liberal democracies.   For more informati
 on, see http://epistemology.ku.dk/  The Programme 
 Committee cordially invite you to submit a 500 wor
 d abstract on any topic relevant to the conference
  theme. Abstracts should be submitted no later tha
 n April 1, 2010.
