Projects
FNS Project Knowledge, Evidence and Practice (2010-2013)
The FNS project Knowledge, Evidence and Practice
is funded by the
the Swiss National Foundation
and based at
the Department of Philosophy, University of Geneva.
Knowledge, on the traditional picture, enjoys no principled relationship to action although
there are indeed parallels. Knowledge and action are the main relations between our
minds and the world. In action to use the familiar metaphor, the direction of fit or of adaptation
is from world to mind. Beliefs aim at knowledge, desires aim at action. In knowledge
mind is directed and adapted to the world. When our beliefs are taken to be false, we are
led to reject them or to revise them. When our desires fail to be satisfied, we feel no such
pressure to change them. Knowing is one thing, which belongs to the theoretical realm and
obeys its laws, and acting is another thing, which obeys the requirements of the practical
realm, which are, at least prima facie, independent. Knowing is understood classically as a
relation to propositions, which are, when known, true. There is a strong division between
theoretical knowledge on the one hand – knowing that – and practical knowledge – knowing
how – on the other. The justification of our beliefs is a matter of their being based upon
evidence and seems to have nothing to do with the outcomes of our actions. Theoretical
reasoning, which moves from beliefs to beliefs, is distinct from practical reasoning, which goes
from beliefs, desires to intentions and to actions. Indeed theoretical rationality and practical
rationality are as distinct as chalk and cheese. This is reflected in the structure of classical
decision theory: on the one hand there are degrees of belief as subjective probabilities, on
the other hand there are degrees of utility and desirabilities. In Moreover the logic of
decision obeys principles which are distinct from those of the logic of belief revision. The
fundamental separation between theoretical and practical reason is also reflected at the level
of the fundamental structure of reasons and values. Theoretical reasons are one thing,
practical reasons another. The structure of justification is not the same and each domain is
separate from the other. Cognitive and practical values fall apart.
This traditional picture, however, has become more and more under strain in almost
all of its aspects, and the relationships between knowledge and action have become more
and more prominent in recent theory of knowledge, formal epistemology and philosophy of
mind. We intend to focus upon the three following strands (which by no means exhaust the
possible issues related to knowledge and action).
Strand 1: Theoretical knowledge vs. practical knowledge
Strand 2: Evidence and practice
Strand 3: Pragmatic encroachment on knowledge and justification
The project involves Pascal Engel, Julien Dutant, Santiago Echeverri, Arturs Logins and Anne Meylan.
FNS Project Perceptual Warrant, Entitlement and A Priori Knowledge (2009-2012)
The FNS project Perceptual Warrant, Entitlement and A Priori Knowledge is funded by the the Swiss National Foundation and based at the Department of Philosophy, University of Geneva. This project adresses the problem of the justification of our perceptual beliefs and of the nature of perceptual evidence. Like most contemporary writers we shall call the generic notion of justification involved warrant. It is usually assumed that classical foundationalism fails for perceptual beliefs, and that a coherence conception justification is equally defective. It is also agreed that the usual divisions between “internalist” conceptions of justification (which requires that one has access to one’s justifications) and “externalist” ones (which do not require access) are inadequate. Recent theories of justification have distanced themselves from both foundationalism and coherentism. On the one hand, some theories have tended to concentrate directly upon the nature of knowledge, by insisting on a condition of “safety” (if one knows that P one could not easily have been wrong). On the other hand some theoeticians have accepted the idea that there can be prima facie, defeasible justification. Our plan is to discuss the application of these approaches to perceptual knowledge.
The project involves Pascal Engel, Ariel Cecchi, Anne Meylan, Katsuya Takahashi, and Julien Dutant.
For further information read the project's full description (.pdf).
FNS Project Knowledge, Reason and Norms (2007-2010)
The FNS project Knowledge, Reason and Norms is funded by the Swiss National Foundation and based at the Department of Philosophy, University of Geneva. It aims at bringing together issues in the theory of knowledge and theories of theoretical reasoning and rationality on the one hand and issues in metaethics and in practical rationality on the other hand. It focuses in particular on a confrontation between theories of epistemic justification and theories of practical justification, and between theoretical and practical norms.
The project involves Pascal Engel, Anne Meylan and Julien Dutant.
For further information see the project's webpage.
Pro-Doc Project Epistemic, Rational and Social Norms (2007-2010)
Within the newly created Pro*Doc Graduate Programme in Philosophy, funded by the Swiss National Foundation, and based at the Universities of Fribourg, Geneva and Lausanne, Episteme takes part in the research module on Epistemic, Rational and Social Norms , which involves the three universities and will begin on jan 1st, 2008. The research module aims at promoting new lines of research and integrating existing work on norms and values in three areas: epistemology, philosophy of rationality and mind, and sociology.
Three PhD students have been recruited for the project..
The Epistemic, Rational and Social Norms module is divided in three subprojects and will involve nine researchers:
- Epistemic Norms (Geneva): Pascal Engel, Julien Dutant and Davide Fassio.
- Norms of mind and rationality (Fribourg): Gianfranco Soldati, Fabian Dorsch and Jack Darach.
- Social Norms (Lausanne): Laurence Kaufmann, Julien Deonna and Maksymilian del Mar.
Teaching
2011
Contextualism in semantics and epistemology
Pro-Doc romand in Philosophy and Certificat the Specialisation en Philosophie Contemporaine
Julien Dutant and Pascal Engel
Spring 2011, tuesdays 10-12, A210
This seminar will deal with the contemporary issues related to contextualism in semantics and in epistemology. It is both part of the pro-doc “ Mind and reality” and of the Certificate of Specialisation in Contemporary Philosophy (CSPC). In the certificate, it is open to student in linguistics as well as philosophy. The programme can be dowloaded here.
Episteme reading group: bayesianism and pragmatic encroachment
Certificat the Specialisation en Philosophie Contemporaine
Episteme: Pascal Engel, Julien Dutant, Santiago Etcheverri, Davide Fassio, Arturs Logins, Anne Meylan
Spring 2011, wednesdays 4-6, B015
The seminar is aimed at bringing students up-to-date on recent debates in epistemology. This year we focus on the broad topic of how knowledge – as well other epistemic goods such as justified belief or rational belief – relates to action. We put a particular emphasis on probabilistic approaches to rational belief and confirmation, which are widely thought to provide an appropriate framework to think about decision under uncertainty. Detailed programme here.
2009
Epistémologie de la croyance
Pascal ENGEL Automne 2009, Jeudi 14-16 Salle B108
- Descriptif:
Ce séminaire portera sur l'épistémologie de la croyance, en laissant de côté, autant que possible, les problémes psychologiques, sémantiques et métaphysiques associés à cette notion. Comment les croyances sont-elles justifiées ? Habituellement par des preuves ou des raisons, selon la doctrine évidentialiste. Mais comment cette doctrine se formule-t-elle et quelles sont des limites ? L'épistémologie des croyances est elle une épistémologie des degrés de croyance ou des croyances "pleines" ? Comment se rattache-t-elle à l'épistémologie du jugement ? On laissera de côté dans une large mesure le problème de l'épistémologie de la connaissance, mais on examinera les relations croyances-connaissances. Le séminaire prendra la forme de séances introductives, puis de séances de présentation par les membres du groupe Epistémè, associées à des séances de lectures de textes.
