The Epistemic Virtues in Law and Business seminars, run by Amalia Amaya Navarro (Edinburgh Law School
and UNAM) and Boudewijn de Bruin (@univgroningen and Uni of Gothenburg), are back! On October 11th, Jean-Christophe de Swaan (@Princeton) will deliver a paper on 'Virtue in Finance'

Our first seminar of the new academic year is this Thursday (5th October) at 3pm when Yunqing Liu (Yunqing LIU) of Edinburgh Law School will present her work-in-progress: 'One Myth about Legal Positivism in International Law: What and Why?' (pls note that this event is pre-read).

İs there any study that you can suggest me that compares how divergent people's intuitions regarding diff. philosophical questions and aims to explain the reason for the divergence? (E.g. the intuitions about ques. A is less divergent across diff. groups than about B because...)

Congratulations 👏👏Yunqing LIU
