DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for Abstracts:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Darwin and Darwinisms</strong></p>\n<p><strong>International Conference: June 3&ndash\;5\, 2024</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Venue: University of Belgrade\, Faculty of Philosophy</strong></p>\n<p>The aim of this conference is to facilitate the exchange of ideas between philosophers\, scientists\, and other scholars interested in the philosophical and historical study of Darwinism and Darwin&rsquo\;s theory of evolution. Our contemporary understanding of the development\, evolution\, and distribution of life hinges on Darwin&rsquo\;s theory. As Dobzhansky famously wrote\, &ldquo\;Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution&rdquo\; (Dobzhansky 1973). Contemporary Darwin scholarship often emphasises the importance of Darwinism&mdash\;Darwin's achievement&mdash\;suggesting that his theory of evolution is a turning point in the historical development of biology. This conference aims to evaluate this traditional understanding of Darwinism and Darwin&rsquo\;s theory. Its&rsquo\; goal is not to devalue Darwin&rsquo\;s important work but to uncover the forgotten influence of Darwin&rsquo\;s contemporaries and predecessors\, provide an alternative understanding of his theory of evolution\, and\, finally\, show that Darwin was\, nontheless\, the scholar of the 18th century.</p>\n<p>Submissions are welcome\, but not restricted to\, the following:</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Historical research on Darwinism: what is Darwinism today and how does it influence contemporary biology\, astrobiology\, and the sciences of the origin of life?</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;The role of Darwinism and Darwin&rsquo\;s theory in contemporary biology.</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;The problems of Darwin&rsquo\;s theory of evolution: where was Darwin wrong?</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;The influence of Darwin&rsquo\;s predecessors on the formulation of his theory of evolution.</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Influence of Darwin&rsquo\;s theory on the development of contemporary sciences of origin\, evolution\, and distribution of life.</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Influence of Darwin&rsquo\;s theory on the development of geology and palaeontology.</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Darwin and post-Darwinism: Punctuated Equilibrium\, Eart System Science\, Gaia Theory\, Astrobiology\, etc.</p>\n<p>v&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Alternative understanding of the development of evolutionism.</p>\n<p><strong>Keynote Speakers:</strong></p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Richard Delisle\, University of Lethbridge</p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Nicolaas Rupke\, Washington and Lee University</p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Antonello La Vergata\, University of Modena</p>\n<p>Dr. Srđa Janković\, University Children's Hospital in Belgrade</p>\n<p><strong>Submissions:&nbsp\;</strong>Please submit an abstract of up to 500 words suitably prepared for blind review&nbsp\;<em>via</em>&nbsp\;<strong>EasyChair</strong>&nbsp\;by&nbsp\;<strong><u>April 10\, 2024</u></strong>.
