<div><b>Objective of the Workshop</b><br>
</div>
<div>It is time to take a closer look at the “epistemic subject” as an explanatory concept and how it may fare in explaining entities beyond individuals. Taking into account not only perspectives from social epistemology, but from philosophy of science, philosophy
of mind and cognitive science, the objective of the workshop will be to reflect upon the idea of epistemic subjects beyond human individuals - namely, the possibility of attributing understanding, knowledge or beliefs to collective, extended or artificial
subjects as well as how to conceptualise them. The range of topics will include:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Collective understanding, epistemic abilities, and distributed cognition<br>
</li><li>Collective knowledge, and collective know-how</li><li>The nature and demarcation of epistemic agency</li><li>Relations between epistemic properties of the group and its members: kinds of non-summativism, emergence and reducibility-relations<br>
</li><li>Extended epistemology and extended cognition<br>
</li><li>Android epistemology and artificial cognition<br>
</li></ul>
