We hereby invite abstracts for papers related to the topic of the conference but in any area of the history of philosophy.

We welcome suggestions for individual papers (presentation time including discussion 30 minutes) as well as joint panels (90 minutes). Proposals, which will be evaluated by the board of the network, are invited from senior researchers as well as from graduate students. For the latter there will be two designated workshops. 

Proposals should consist of two separate documents: 
1)The title and the abstract (maximum 300 words) of your paper. The abstract should clearly state at least the following: the topic of the presentation, the manner in which the paper contributes to this topic, as well as the general argument of the paper. 
2)A separate cover letter including the following information: your name, academic position,affiliation, and contact information; the title of your presentation 

To submit a proposal, send it as an email attachment to the following address: [email protected]
Please ensure that the subject line of the email reads: NHP 2015 Proposal 
Deadline for submission: 14 January 2015. Decisions will communicated by 27 February 2015.
