Conferinţa NORMEV 2011

International conference

Evolution and Norms:
Concepts, Models, Challenges

Bucharest, 11-12 November 2011

Is there a ‘quest for meaning’ in the recent literature on the emergence of norms? How do evolutionary game theory and evolutionary economics fit into a larger concept of “evolutionism” as an epistemic profile? How do such models and theories influence the landscape of social sciences and political or moral philosophy? How do they enrich our concept of rationality? How can we assess the implicit relativism of the evolutionary approach to norms and culture? Is adding new variables and parameters to the utility function a fruitful extension of the standard theory or just an unnecessary complication? Can virtual interactions and computerized simulations provide a hoped-for testing ground for theories that try to account for the evolution of norms in real-life settings?

The recent development of a significant literature on the emergence and/or evolution of norms prompts such stringent questions across different disciplines. Our conference welcomes contributions on both technical problems in the evolutionary theories of norms and on more general philosophical questions related to their epistemological or moral presuppositions and implications.
