Overview
This workshop pays special tribute to Allan Gibbard, whose seminal work integrates the three themes of the title. It is also an exploration of recent advances in empirical moral psychology, which complement Gibbard's approach in philosophy. Our guests bring together relevant findings from psychology, ethology, and neuroscience. Some participants will also discuss anthropology and evolutionary biology. We hope to promote dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and to foster continued collaboration between the Duke and UNC communities.
