Philosophy and the Real World

15th to 17th April 2009

Call for papers Now closed

Macquarie University and ANU are jointly organizing the 2009 APPC.


This year's conference seeks to bring together researchers in philosophy and other disciplines interested in the intersection between philosophy and contemporary issues, such as science, technology, and current social and political debates. With such rapid change taking place in the world over the last quarter century, the "traditional" fields of philosophy must engage with other disciplines, for example, biology and multimedia technologies in order to address those issues which concern us all. However, we recognise the continuing importance of the established lines of philosophical inquiry (e.g. metaphysics, logic, ethics, history of philosophy etc.), and will happily accept submissions in these areas as well.


The conference will be held between the 15th and 17th of April 2009 on the rolling green campus of Macquarie University, North Ryde, Sydney.
