Call for Papers Theme: Philosophy across Borders Type: International Conference Institution: Faculty of Philosophy, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Location: Online Date: 8.6.2022 Deadline: 30.4.2022 __________________________________________________ The question of borders in philosophy has recently taken on at least two different but related dimensions. Geographically, the internationalization of the discipline, where career progression is increasingly tied up with international research stays, collaboration across borders, and the capacity to secure international funding, has brought to the fore questions regarding the conditions necessary to permit such interactions to take place. In turn, there has been a rise in interest, across multiple disciplines, in a question(ing) of conceptual borders or dividing lines, and, in particular, the role(s) that separations between entities, events, concepts and so on, play and/or should play in creating, sustaining, and/or problematizing issues. The purpose of this one-day online international conference is to provide a space wherein the question of conceptual borders, dividing lines, and movement between different trajectories and/or schemas can be explored. We welcome submissions that take a historical and/or analytic approach, with suitable submission topics including, but certainly not being limited to: - The problem of (conceptual) borders: what is a border? Do we need them? - Dividing lines and how to efface them? - The problem of difference and unity - Rethinking differences - The cultural conditions of philosophical thinking - Facilitating intercultural philosophical exchange - Reason and the irrational - Postcolonial difference - Agency across cultures - Comparative analysis of a conceptual problem across different philosophical borders Format: The conference will be held virtually and hosted by Google Meetings (to be confirmed). Invited speakers will have 20 minutes to present their papers, followed by 10 minutes for questions. Those interested in participating should send a 400-word abstract, with a short biography that includes current academic status and affiliation, to [email protected] by 30th April 2022. The conference will be in English and attendance is free.
