DESCRIPTION:It has been strongly argued that human
  rationality, language, and meaning are intrinsica
 lly normative, and that as such they cannot be des
 cribed in purely naturalistic terms. But how are w
 e conceive of normativity? Taking this question as
  our starting point, we are interested in bringing
  together young researchers who are working toward
 s a model that helps explain the nature of norms u
 nderlying human cognition and (linguistic) behavio
 ur.   We are happy to announce that the conference
 's two confirmed keynote speakers are:  - James O'
 Shea (University College Dublin)  - Allan Gibbard 
 (University of Michigan)   We invite papers on a b
 road range on topics relating to this theme. Contr
 ibutions may concern - but need not be limited to 
 - the following questions:   - What is normativity
  and what are its sources?  - How do norms differ 
 from causes?  - How relevant is normativity in acc
 ounting for meaning in natural language?  - What i
 s the nature of norms in human reasoning and decis
 ion-making and how do they bind us?  - How do soci
 al practices and individual factors determine or c
 onstrain norms underlying human reasoning?  - What
  is the normative force of conventions in communic
 ation?    For further information, you can visit t
 he conference website at: https://www.illc.uva.nl/
