International Conference on the Value of Knowledge August 26, 2007

After decades of discussion about the proper analysis of knowledge, epistemologists have started working on questions concerning the value of what they so eagerly have analyzed: knowledge. The rubric of "The Value of Knowledge", covers such questions and topics as:

- Why is knowledge supposed to be more valuable than true belief (the 'Meno problem')?
- What sorts of values accrue to knowledge?
- Is there any value to ignorance?
- What, if anything, accounts for forbidden knowledge?

Keynote speakers
Alvin Goldman (Rutgers University)
Ernest Sosa (Rutgers University)
Jonathan Kvanvig (Baylor University)
Duncan Pritchard (University of Stirling)
