The Ethics of Knowing (JeSyP 2019)

Seminar

The topic of the second Jena Summer Symposium in Philosophy (JeSyP 2019) is “The Ethics of Knowing”. This year’s distinguished guest is Professor Alessandra TanesiniExternal link (Cardiff University). 

Professor Tanesini’s one-day seminar on July 30th will address the topic of epistemic injustice.

The seminar will comprise three 90-minute sessions, beginning at 11:30, and end with a dinner reception open to all. Advanced undergraduate students and graduate students are cordially invited to participate, if familiar with the basic ideas of the book which shaped the discussion of this topic, Miranda Fricker’s “Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing”.

One of many ways for students to familiarize themselves with this topic is to take part in a suitable preparatory seminar, for example in:

• Amber Leigh Griffioen's seminar at the university of KonstanzExternal link (winter term 2018/19)

• Gloria Freitag's seminar at the university of JenaExternal link (summer term 2019)
