We would especially welcome submissions addressing anything from the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics/questions:

•       Are there any special subjects in Continental or Analytic Philosophy that require "cross-divisional" treatment?
•       Can the distinction between Continental and Analytic philosophy be maintained given
contemporary Meta-Philosophy?
•       Should we be Eliminativists about one of the traditions?
•       Knowledge-how in the Continental and Analytic Traditions.
•       Intuition in the Continental and Analytic Traditions.
•       Anti-Psychologism in the Continental and Analytic Traditions.
•       Cognitive Phenomenology.
•       Phenomenology and Extended Cognition.
•       Can Phenomenology be given a fruitful Analytic treatment?
•       Are there similarities between Speculative Realism and Analytic Metaphysics?
•       Experimental Philosophy and Continental Philosophy.
•       Are there any structural similarities between political reconciliation and theoretical
reconciliation?
•       What would a "post-divide" Philosophy look like?

Registration is required. Please e-mail [email protected] by July 15th.
