Just under a week left to submit to this metaphysics conference in Paris. Impressive speaker list, including E. J. Lowe and James Ladyman. The conference looks very interesting, and Paris in May is bound to be lovely. Unfortunately I’m unable to attend as I’m in the US at the time. Call for abstracts: “Individuals Across [...]
The Epistemology Research Cluster at the University of Edinburgh is hosting this interesting conference on ‘The Aims of Inquiry and Cognition’. I like how the topic description starts from Aristotle’s thoughts about knowledge. Another point of interest is that Ted Sider is one of the keynote speakers; I’m guessing that he will talk about the [...]
Although I haven’t worked on applied ontology myself as of yet, I’m generally pleased to see that there are these types of conferences, as applications of formal ontology do present an interesting avenue for quantifiable results from metaphysics and ontology. FOIS 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS 7th International Conference on Formal Ontologies in Information Systems (FOIS [...]
Not really in my area, but I guess I should advertise stuff happening in Finland, and Helsinki in particular. So, make a note of this if you work in philosophy of science, or more specifically on methodological issues concerning models and simulations. I won’t be in the country anyway… Call for papers MODELS AND SIMULATIONS [...]

I may very well be going to this meeting of the North Carolina Philosophical Society and South Carolina Society for Philosophy in February at Elon, NC. I will be based at UNC Chapel Hill at the time. So, I thought I should post the CFP, the deadline is in just over a month. It appears [...]
Looks quite interesting. I won’t be able to go and I have nothing to submit anyway, but I’m happy to see that there’s some research and activity on topics such as this. Note that the deadline for abstracts is already October 1st 2011! 6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF COMPUTER GAMES THE NATURE OF [...]
The initial deadline for this CFP has passed, but apparently it can be extended — contact the organizers. Personally I don’t work on any of these historical aspects concerning Aristotle, but I thought that this might be of interest to some (and it’s always to good to see that research on Aristotle is flourishing). CFP: [...]
The SOPHA Congress is being organized again, three years after the previous meeting in Geneva. If the Geneva Congress is anything to go by, this should be an excellent event (see my report from Geneva here). Paris in the spring doesn’t sound too bad either! I’m not sure whether I’ll be on this continent next [...]
