SLACRR 2016: Call for abstracts
SLACRR: May 22-24, 2016
Keynote Speaker:
Paul Boghossian (NYU)
St. Louis Annual Conference on Reasons and Rationality provides a forum for new work on practical and theoretical reason, broadly construed. Please submit an anonymized abstract of 750-1500 words by January 15, 2016 to SLACRR@gmail.com. In writing your abstract, please bear in mind that full papers should be suitable for a 30 minute presentation. Please attach your abstract as a pdf file, the name of which should be based upon the title of your abstract. (In other words, don't name your file FILE.pdf or ABSTRACT.pdf)
What to Submit
SLACRR includes papers in ethics, epistemology, and other areas of philosophy that deal with reasons, reasoning, or rationality. For instance, we would be interested in papers exploring such questions as:
- What is the relation between reasons for actions and reasons for beliefs?
- What are the sources of our reasons for belief?
- How are features of one's psychology relevant to reasons?
- What is the relation between reasons and what we ought to do or believe?
- What is the relation between reasons and value?
- Are the requirements of practical and theoretical rationality normative?
- What is the relation between individual rationality and collective rationality?
- Are actions or beliefs themselves structured by reasons?
Of course, this is just a small sample of questions. Further questions can also be directed to Eric Wiland, Julia Staffel, Kathryn Lindeman, or to SLACRR@gmail.com

Philosophy and Law programs?
I hope to gather information about undergraduate degree programs that somehow combine philosophy and law. A few examples include Indiana University PA, Georgia State, Lewis, and USC. I am looking only at degree programs administered by philosophy departments, and that have the word "law" somewhere in the description of the major, so that a student or an administrator would see the program as combining something marketable (law) with philosophy.
Are there other such programs? Do they attract majors? Do they attract students to the college itself? Any advice on how to get one's own university (ahem) to look favorably upon proposing such a degree program?
