What FrankMeta is
FrankMeta is the annual metaethics conference organized by Frankfurt School's Computational Science & Philosophy department. It is designed to bring together philosophers working on normativity and metanormativity, broadly construed. It features new work in the metaphysics, (meta)semantics, epistemology and psychology of normative discourse, as well as papers on reasons and rationality. The conference runs over two days and provides plenty of time for discussion and exchange. There is no conference fee.
