However\, the notion of genealogy is not confined to the Nietzschean tradition. David Hume&rsquo\;s &lsquo\;experimental&rsquo\; enquiries into the origins of our religious and causal beliefs&mdash\;offering more traditional debunking arguments&mdash\;are also increasingly considered to come under its methodological umbrella.</p>\n<p>Conversely\, <strong>Bernard Williams</strong>\, drawing on Locke and Hobbes\, develops a <em>vindicatory</em> form of genealogy that seeks to legitimate our existing ethical virtues by uncovering the <em>genuine</em> moral and political needs they address. More recently\, Julian Ratcliffe has labelled a strand of contemporary Anglophone work&mdash\;associated with figures such as Brandom\, Dutilh Novaes\, and Queloz&mdash\;<em>rationalising genealogy</em>. This approach seeks to uncover normative commitments latent within existing conceptual resources\, thereby connecting genealogy to themes of Hegelian reconciliation and Carnapian conceptual engineering.</p>\n<p>The conference aims to bring together work that examines genealogical approaches and the fundamental questions they raise about critique\, normativity\, historical explanation\, and philosophical method\, highlighting their continuing importance across Continental and Anglophone philosophy.</p>\n<p>For detailed information and further instruction\, please visit: <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/philosophy/research/activities/postkantian/events/wcpc/">https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/philosophy/research/activities/postkantian/events/wcpc/</a></p>\n<p>For any enquiries\, please contact: <a href="mailto:wcpc@warwick.ac.uk">wcpc@warwick.ac.uk</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Submission Guidelines</strong></p>\n<p>Your submission should include:</p>\n<p>1.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; <strong>A fully anonymised paper</strong> suitable for a 30-min presentation (max. 3\,500 words\, excluding bibliography and/or abstract).</p>\n<p>2.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; <strong>A&nbsp\;separate cover sheet</strong>&nbsp\;containing:</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Name</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Institutional affiliation</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Contact information</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Paper title</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Brief biographical note&nbsp\;(max.&nbsp\;300 words).</p>\n<p>Please send all documents to the WCPC committee at <a href="mailto:wcpc@warwick.ac.uk">wcpc@warwick.ac.uk</a>.
