19th Annual Philosophy Graduate Student Conference, March 1 & 2, 2012

[Vicki Brett]

The 19th Annual Philosophy Graduate Student Conference will be held March 1 and 2, 2012.

The keynote address will be given on Friday, March 2, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. in HH 373:

Helen Longino, Stanford University,
"The Sociality of Scientific Knowledge: Not Just an Academic Question".
I have argued for a strong interpretation of the social character of scientific knowledge, basing this both on features of the organization of scientific inquiry and on logical features of evidential reasoning.  In this talk I will review and update the arguments for this interpretation and urge that it has implications beyond the philosophical circles within which it is debated.
