Call for PapersWhat Do We Do When We Do Philosophy?Members' Weekend 2024, 14-15 September 2024The Oxford Philosophical Society is delighted to announce the call for papers for the upcoming Member's Weekend 2024 on the theme of metaphilosophy, entitled "What Do We Do When We Do Philosophy?". We aim to explore the fundamental nature of philosophical enquiry, delving into its purposes, methodologies, and implications - and perhaps even asking whether we should just accept that this is an impossible hope? The focus of the weekend extends to the role of philosophy in the public square and its contribution to the common good. Some of the key themes that may be covered include:
The Nature of Philosophical Inquiry
Philosophy in the Public Square
Philosophy and the Common Good
Historical Perspectives
Practical Philosophy, including Philosophy as a Way of
Life
Scientific and Philosophical Intersections Submission GuidelinesWe invite philosophers and practitioners from various backgrounds to submit abstracts that reflect diverse perspectives, including historical, practical, and scientific viewpoints on the above key themes. Submissions should strive to be accessible to a non-specialist philosophically-inclined audience.
Abstract Length: 200-300 words, plus two or three sentences on your academic
or professional profile |
