Canada Research Chair in Value Theory and the Philosophy of Public Policy (PI: Iwao Hirose) is pleased to announce the third annual Axiology Workshop. The workshop is intended to be a friendly forum where analytical value theorists in philosophy, economics, and social sciences get together ( 2023 program and 2024 program ). It will take place in Montreal on September 19-20, 2025.
We invite submissions of abstracts on any topic in analytical value theory. Topics include (but are not confined to) measurement of personal and general good; interpersonal comparison of goods; interpersonal/intra-personal aggregation of good; dis-aggregation of general good; the nature of impersonal good; the value of existence; population ethics; dispersion of personal good over times; dynamic consistency of good; and so on. There will be at least seven slots for submitted papers.
Abstracts should be max one A4 page (PDF file only), prepared for blind review, and suitable for a 35-minute presentation. Abstracts should state (1) the main result(s) of your analysis and (2) rough outline of your analysis. Submit your abstract from聽/valuetheory/personnes/submit
Speakers of accepted abstracts will be offered (a) workshop dinner and (b) 3 nights of accommodation in downtown Montreal (in the case of multi-authored paper, the corresponding author only).
We welcome and encourage submissions from women and Indigenous persons. A limited number of travel subsidy (airfare up to C$1,000) will be available for speakers of accepted abstract, who belong to either group and have no tenured position. The submission page will close on May 31, 2025.
Attendance is free but requires registration as the space is limited. The registration page will open in August 2025. If you are interested to act as a session chair (e.g., to secure your travel fund), please indicate your interest when you register in August.
