Weinberg Symposium emphasizes interdisciplinary activities and aims to foster fruitful and lasting interactions among philosophers, psychologists, linguists, and other cognitive
scientists. This year’s symposium, entitled “The Cognitive Science of Moral Minds,” features four leading thinkers investigating the inner workings of moral judgment from psychological, neuroscientific, and philosophical perspectives.
