Automatic Actions (Jan. 11th 2013)
Organisation: Ezio Di Nucci and Neil Roughley
In the wake of the Control and the Absent Mind conference in the summer of 2012, we organized a follow-up event in early 2013. The workshop brought together early-career philosophers based in Germany and the Netherlands who are working on the conceptualisation of automaticity and habits and on their theoretical and ethical implications for such concepts as intention, awareness, responsibility and freedom.

Control and the Absent Mind. Habits, Skills, Automaticity and Intentionality (June 2012)
Organisation:Ezio Di Nucci and Neil Roughley
Speakers: Peter Gollwitzer (Konstanz / New York), Richard Holton (MIT), David Neal (Duke), Gabriele Oettingen (Hamburg / New York), Timothy Schroeder (Ohio State), Frank Esken (Salzburg), Paschal Sheeran (Sheffield), Ralf Stoecker (Potsdam), Wendy Wood (Southern California), Ezio Di Nucci (Duisburg-Essen)
The conference brought together leading international experts on human action and behaviour from both the empirical sciences and philosophy, to discuss in an interdisciplinary setting recent developments in the empirical and theoretical study of automaticity and habits. We often act automatically - without awareness or a preceding conscious intention - as for example when we act out of habit or when we exercise a skill. These behaviours pose challenging questions: how are they to be explained? Can we reconcile them within the intentional activity of a rational planning agent? Can we still talk of control and responsibility in such cases? On the one hand, such practices are so common and frequent that we must be able to account for them within agents' normal rational lives; on the other hand, lack of awareness poses a serious problem to the attribution of intentionality and responsibility.

GAP-Doctoral Workshop Meta-Ethik und Normative Ethik (November 2010)
Workshop funded by the Gesellschaft für Analytische Philosophie (GAP) for doctoral students working in ethics.
Conference schedule

Our goal with MetaEssen is to provide a biannual forum for philosophers, especially more junior philosophers in or around Europe, to share new work in a congenial environment on a topic of recent interest concerning the nature of ethics, understood broadly to include familiar metaethical questions on the metaphysics, epistemology, semantics, and psychology of normativity, but also less familiar questions where the boundaries between metaethics and normative ethics might be less sharp. The format involves extensive discussion of pre-read papers.

Beyond Representation: Emotions' Agential Dimensions (March 23rd 2021)

Speakers: Julien Deonna, Hichem Naar, Neil Roughley, Christiana Werner, Fabrice Teroni

The project How Does it Feel? Interpersonal Understanding and Affective Empathy aims to make a crucial contribution to a theory of interpersonal understanding by providing philosophical accounts of hitherto barely discussed dimensions of the phenomenon:
(1) grasping what it is like or how it feels for another to be in some situation: phenomenal understanding;
(2) endorsing or accepting another's feelings, motivation or action; and
(3) achieving these as a result of emotionally or affectively empathising with the other, where affective empathy is conceived as either fulfilling a cognitive role, thus contributing to phenomenal understanding, or feeding into the evaluative or quasi-evaluative phenomenon of endorsement.
