Analytic philosophy has a prominent place in Dutch and Flemish philosophy departments. In order to promote analytic philosophy in the Dutch and Flemish communities, the Vereniging voor Analytische Filosofie (VAF) was founded in 2006. The second organised event of the VAF will be a thematic two-day conference on Concepts and Emotions.

We invite (young as well as established) researchers in analytic philosophy to propose a presentation on their own current research on one of these two subjects. Contributions should deal with topics related to the themes of the conference, provided that the style of argumentation is analytic.

Call for Papers

Abstracts due by January 22 2007.

Submit an abstract of about 500 words (with information about academic affiliation) to Erik.Myin@ua.ac.be. Please use as subject of your e-mail ‘Submission VAF’.

Submissions should be related to the conference themes, on condition that they are treated in the analytical style of philosophy. Participants, of any nationality are encouraged to present their current research. Commentaries on the work of Prinz are welcomed as well.

Notification of acceptance will be made by February 15 2007.
