Our programme and a summary of the conference aims.

Aims

Recent philosophical analyses of implicit cognition and the origins of intuitions tend to rely, whether implicitly or explicitly, on some form of dual-process model.

According to dual-process models, the high-speed cognition that shapes our intuitive judgments and inattentive behaviour is produced through a process that is distinct in kind from the one that produces attentive rational deliberation. Although this picture remains influential in empirically informed epistemology and ethics, it has come under significant pressure in cognitive psychology, where connectionist and predictivist models of cognition now dominate.

The aim of this conference is collectively to rethink these issues in empirically informed epistemology and ethics in the light of this development in the theory of cognition. We are particularly concerned with how the cognition underlying belief formation and moral judgment is best modelled, whether and in what ways that cognition is rational, and the implications of this for certain current issues in ethics, epistemology, and politics.
