ABOUT MARIA BAGHRAMIAN:
Maria Baghramian is Full Professor of Philosophy in the School of Philosophy of the University College Dublin and Professor II at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Oslo. From March 2025, she will take up the position of European Research Area Chair at the American University of Armenia. She has held visiting posts in Harvard, MIT, University of Yerevan, Institut Jean Nicod, Paris and in various universities in China.
In her own words her overarching research interest is in the possibility of objective knowledge in the face of intractable disagreements and incompatible knowledge claims, in both the natural and human sciences. The project has been carried out in three inter-related strands:
1. Foundational: Relativism and Pluralism and the possibility of objectivity
2. Historic: Pragmatist and Neo Pragmatist responses to the problems of truth and objectivity
3. Practical: Expert Knowledge, Disagreement and the question of who to Trust
This Workshop will take place at the Universidad de La Laguna, hosted by the Section of Philosophy, in November 12th-14th, 2024.
