LOCATION:Faculdade de Letras\, Coimbra\, Portugal
DESCRIPTION:<p>Attention constitutes one of the most fundamental yet under-theorized dimensions of human experience. Despite its centrality to perception\, cognition\, action\, and intersubjectivity\, the philosophical investigation of attention as a concept in its own right remains surprisingly underdeveloped. This international conference represents the first major initiative of a four-year research program (2025-2029) dedicated to establishing the philosophy of attention as a major field of contemporary philosophical inquiry.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conference seeks to bring these rich historical engagements into systematic dialogue with contemporary philosophy. We welcome contributions from all philosophical traditions and approaches\, including but not limited to: the reflexive tradition\, hermeneutics\, phenomenology\, empiricist and analytic philosophy\, philosophy of mind\, cognitive science\, pragmatism\, and non-Western philosophical traditions. We aim to explore how different philosophical frameworks have conceptualized attention's structure\, dynamics\, and normative dimensions\, and how these varied perspectives can illuminate both historical debates and current research.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Languages:&nbsp\;Proposals and presentations may be submitted in English\, French\, Spanish\, or Portuguese.</p>\n<p>Format:&nbsp\;Abstracts should be 300-400 words in length and include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Title of the paper</li>\n<li>Author's name and institutional affiliation</li>\n<li>Abstract (300-400 words)</li>\n<li>Brief biographical note (100-150 words)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Presentation:&nbsp\;Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes\, followed by 10 of discussion.</p>\n<p>Deadline:&nbsp\;May 30\, 2026</p>\n<p>Submission:&nbsp\;Please send your proposal to&nbsp\;attention.coimbra.26@gmail.com</a></p>\n<p>Notification:&nbsp\;Accepted participants will be notified from June 20\, 2026.</p>\n<p>Registration Fee:&nbsp\;&euro\;60</p>\n<p>Publication:&nbsp\;Selected papers will be considered for publication in conference proceedings with an international academic publisher.</p>\n<p>For further information\, please contact:&nbsp\;attention.coimbra.26@gmail.com</a></p>
