About the topic
If we look at the origins of analytic philosophy, it becomes gradually more clear that continental traditions have played an important role: think for example of the influence of phenomenology and Neo-Kantianism. Independent of these historical aspects, one may ask: Can the continental tradition add something to the problems and methods within analytic philosophy today? Can analytic philosophy be brought to a new stage by incorporating ideas coming from the continental tradition? And, what tensions does this create? Think, for example, of the naturalism that is often presupposed in analytic philosophy. On the other side, one can raise the question: Can analytic philosophy contribute to problems and methods in continental philosophy? One may in the end argue that a distinction between analytic and continental philosophy is not viable at all. Although these questions make sense in relation to the whole field of philosophy, the focus is on theoretical philosophy: epistemology, philosophy of science, logic, philosophy of logic and language, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics.
Call for abtracts
PhD students, Research master students, and Postdocs are invited to send in an abstract relating to the topic. Although talks in either analytic or continental philosophy will be considered, there is a preference for those talks that are able to connect the two traditions.
Talks should be no longer than 20 minutes (followed by discussion); abstracts no longer than 500 words.
