The focus of this colloquium is on the intersection of environmental
philosophy and the politics of public policy as it pertains to the practice
of philosophy and the duties of citizenship.

Papers are invited that deal with issues that arise at the intersection of
environmental policy, public policy, and the duties of citizenship. We want
to consider environmental philosophy from multiple perspectives —
political, engineering, scientific, religious, and so on — using multiple
approaches, philosophy of science, analysis of narrative and rhetoric, and
others.

Papers should be not longer than twelve pages long (approximately 3,000
words), double-spaced, with a maximum reading time of 25 minutes.
Submission deadline: extended to 15 August 2006.

Papers or abstracts should be sent to Daniel C. Fouke, Department of
Philosophy, University of Dayton, 300 College Park, Dayton, Ohio,
45469-1546.
