Conference announcement and CALL FOR PAPERS

Since its inception, modern philosophy has had to compete with science. This competition has given rise to the question of what distinctive contribution philosophy can make to human knowledge. The conference will examine the genesis, nature and status of philosophical insights. It will bring together leading exponents of (post-)analytic, experimental and naturalistic philosophy, to develop and explore fresh answers, and address the issue of what kinds of contribution philosophy has made and can make to human knowledge – in particular in those areas in which it appears to compete with science.
