CONFERENCE: Self and Other: Cognitive Perspectives on Trust, Empathy and the Self
University of Minnesota Law School; Institute for Law & Rationality
Friday, April 6th, through Saturday, April 7th, at the University of Minnesota Law School
This symposium will feature leading scholars from law, economics, and psychology discussing trust, empathy, and the self.
Recent work on making the model of human behavior used by legal and economic scholars more realistic considers how people make sense of themselves and of others. How do people construct their views of themselves? What determines when people trust others and to what extent? What role does empathy play in helping people understand other people? How do cognitive processes work in the context of trust and empathy? And how can a model of human behavior be constructed that achieves sufficient realism consistent with the tractability needed for policymaking? The symposium will consider these and related issues.
