DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Series\n\n'On the Nature and Foundations of Epistemi
 c Normativity'\n\nDavid Plunkett\, Dartmouth College\n	Coauthored with Tris
 tram McPherson (Ohio State University)\n	\n	Friday\, October 7\, 2022\n	3:30-
 5:30 PM EST\n	Leacock 927\n	\n	Abstract:\n	Many of the epistemic conditions th
 at philosophers are interested in – such as knowledge\, justification\, an
 d understanding – seem to be “normative” in an important sense. Put roughl
 y: such epistemic conditions seem to not only be tied to standards that we
  can conform to\, but also ones that matter in more significant ways than 
 the rules of a randomly chosen social club. But is the idea that epistemol
 ogy is “normative” correct? And\, if so\, how exactly should we understand
  what the normativity of epistemic standards consists in? In this paper\, 
 we explore some of the complexities of these questions and chart a range o
 f possible answers. A core part of this discussion involves exploring thre
 e different topics\, and how they interact: 1) theories of normativity\, 2
 ) theories of the epistemic\, and 3) different ways of understanding the c
 laim that epistemology (or some epistemic condition) is normative. On the 
 last front\, we distinguish three different foundational projects that phi
 losophers can engage in with respect to epistemology: what we call the pro
 jects of “metaepistemology”\, “substantive normative epistemology”\, and t
 he “conceptual ethics of epistemology”. We illustrate how our discussion c
 an help illuminate important aspects of debates in epistemology\, and poss
 ible ways forward\, including in debates about ideology and ideology criti
 que\, moral encroachment\, and the debate between pragmatists and evidenti
 alists.\n
