Workshop: Value Exploration

The Workshop on Value Exploration examines value, the self, and how they relate to each other. It sits at the intersection of value theory (in particular, axiology and the metaphysics of value) and the philosophy of mind (in particular, that which discusses the self and values/preferences).

Date: 3 – 5 June 2024
