PRESENTATION

This workshop aims at working in a point where ethical, aesthetical and the philosophy of mind’s discussion topics converge and interweave. Our hope is, finally, that this initiative will help to create a space for discussion open to philosophers from different fields sharing an interest in the rigorous study of such questions.

The Workshop follows up the structure of the Inter-University Workshop on Philosophy and Cognitive Science, whose first edition took place in Donostia/San Sebastian (Spain) in 1989. Each edition is hosted by a different University and has a prominent philosopher as invited speaker. In addition, a number of contributed papers are read (in English or Spanish) on any aspect of his/her work.

The philosophical works and discussions encouraged by the Workshops on Philosophy and Cognitive Science have tended to focus on the disciplines more "typically analytic", like the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind and epistemology, while no equivalent project in areas like ethics or aesthetics has crystallized so far. The main purpose of the Inter-University Workshop on Mind, Art, and morality is precisely to help filling this gap

The first edition of the Workshop about Mind, Art and Morality took place in Murcia (2002) with Richard Wolheim as the invited speaker. The second edition has been realized recently in Valencia with the discussion of Jonathan Dancy’s practical philosophy. This third edition, will take place in the University Carlos III of Madrid, in March 2004, and will focus on the work of the American philosopher, Christine Koorsgaard.
