The workshop brings leading scholars in the field as well as early career researchers together who share the renewed philosophical interest for the “conservative disposition”. Attention will be focused, in particular, on three questions: how does the conservative disposition order core concepts such as liberty, tradition, individualism and progress, and what are the normative implications of this ordering? On what basis, and under what conditions, can status quo biases find a rational justification? Is there a specific kind of “conservative value” and how precisely would it have to be conceptualized (e.g. existence value, antiquity value, particular value)?
