Inductive Metaphysics: Insights, Challenges and Prospects
9 – 11 August 2023University of Düsseldorf, Germany
Call for presentations is open – deadline February 28, 2023
Inductive Metaphysics is a comparatively new branch of metaphysics that justifies metaphysical principles by inductive or abductive inferences from empirical evidence, rather than by purely logico-conceptual considerations. This conference intends to give a representative picture of the state of the art in inductive metaphysics and the current debate on this branch of metaphysics. The conference is organized by the DFG-funded research group “Inductive Metaphysics” (FOR 2495) in which more than 30 philosophers from seven German universities explore the prospects and applications of inductive metaphysics.
