Submission Guidelines

The conference aims at creating a vision of how novel theories in philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics and neurobiology influence our understanding of the concept of representation. We invite abstract submissions addressing any aspect of the topic with special emphasis on reconsideration of representations in light of recent ideas in philosophy and cognitive science.

The submitted abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words. All submissions are to be prepared for a double-blind review. 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. Please note that selected papers of the conference will be published in a thematic issue of Balkan Journal of Philosophy, in 2025.
