7 - 14 January 2022, Formal Ethics 2022 Conference (FE2022), Virtual

Date: 7 - 14 January 2022
Location: Virtual

We are pleased to announce the eighth edition of the Formal Ethics conference series. Formal Ethics 2022 will be held online using Zoom this coming January 7th, 8th, 13th, and 14th (for most time zones). The keynote address will be given by Matthew Adler (Duke Law School). In addition, there will be sixteen contributed papers. Most of the papers were originally scheduled to be presented at the in-person Formal Ethics conference that was to be held at Vanderbilt University in 2020 but that was cancelled because of COVID.

Formal Ethics is a common denominator for the application of tools from logic, decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory to the analysis of concepts in moral and political philosophy and to the development of ethical theory. It is a rapidly growing field of research that goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, John Harsanyi, Georg Henrik von Wright, and others. The field has recently gained new impetus with formal work on non-classical logic, freedom and responsibility, population ethics, value theory, and the evolution of norms and conventions.
