3rd Conference of the Young Network for Wittgensteinian philosophy 

30 and 31 October 2026 

in Düsseldorf, Germany, at Heinrich Heine University’s "Haus der Universität".

Call for Papers

We invite contributions engaging with Wittgenstein’s philosophy in its broadest sense. Submissions may address Wittgenstein’s work on language, logic, mind, mathematics, epistemology, ethics, culture, or other areas of his thought, as well as the application of Wittgensteinian ideas and methods to contemporary philosophical problems.

We particularly encourage contributions from early-career researchers and welcome both exegetical work on Wittgenstein and papers that develop or apply Wittgensteinian approaches to current philosophical debates.

Participation is free, we will provide snacks and drinks but we cannot cover any travel expenses. The meeting will be held exclusively in person.

Submission Guidelines:

Deadline: 31 August 2026

What to submit:  A title and an abstract of no more than 500 words on a Wittgensteinian topic of your choice.
