Call for Papers:The division of theoretical and practical philosophy was codified by Kant, who set aside the kingdom of natural necessity and the kingdom of moral ends. The last centuries saw gradual erosion of this neat distinction. Most of them are related to our understanding of rationality – a concept that looms large in many branches of philosophy and provides opportunities for interdisciplinary research. We invite abstract submissions addressing any aspect of this concept, e.g. related to
• epistemology
• philosophy of science
• decision theory
• rational/social choice
• philosophy of psychology
• philosophy of action
• normative ethics
All submissions are to be prepared for a double-blind review. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words. Please submit your abstract with a short biographical note attached in a separate document. All submissions should be suitable for presentation of approximately 20 minutes in length. After each presentation, speakers will have 10 minutes for Q&A.
Deadline for submissions: January 1st, 2026. Notification of acceptance: until mid-February.
Please submit your proposal at: [email protected]
Registration Deadline: April 30th, 2026.
