Deceptive Speech Acts in Philosophy and Law, Krakow, October 5th-6th
Untruth and deception have always been a topic of great interest to philosophers, as well as being of obviously central importance to jurists and legal theorists. Still, recent years have seen a stark increase of interest in concepts and theories of deceptive and misleading utterances. Old definitions are being reconsidered and novel topics emerge, such as the variety of non-assertive acts that might or might not be characterized as lies (questions, implicatures, explanations etc.) or, more puzzlingly still, the possibility of lying or misleading utterances produced by non-human, artificial agents. Moreover, theoretical debates are being supported with an unprecedented wave of empirical research.
These new developments are the main theme of the workshop “Deceptive Speech Acts in Philosophy and Law” organized by the Jagiellonian Center for Law, Language and Philosophy. The workshop will take place in Kraków, on October 5-6th. See the program below. The workshop is taking place in person, but it's possible to listen to the talks and submit questions for the Q&A online.
