Philosophy of Language and Buddhism

The International Society for Buddhist Philosophy (ISBP) is soliciting paper proposals for a panel that engages philosophy of language in conversation with Buddhist thought, in the group meeting at the Annual Meeting of the American Philosophical Association (APA) Central Division in St. Louis, MO (February 18-21, 2015). Papers that address issues in the philosophy of language (theories of reference and meaning, semiotics, non-literal/metaphoric/transactional usages, ineffability, etc.) in conversation with Buddhist philosophy and/or considered from a Buddhist philosophical perspective are welcome.

Please send title, abstract (250 words), personal information (name, email, and institutional affiliation) to Douglas Duckworth (duckworth[at]temple.edu) by August 31, 2014.
