Seeing-as is a topic of deep relevance and importance to several major \;areas of academic philosophy across various approaches. The phenomena \;is of clear importance in issues concerning aesthetics\, philosophy of \;language\, philosophy of perception\, and epistemology\, not only from a \;Wittgensteinian perspective\, but in analytic philosophy more \;generally\, as well as in the work of phenomenological philosophy that \;follows in the footsteps of figures such as Husserl\, Heidegger\, and \;Merleau-Ponty.
The more specific focus of the conference is how we should understand \;the relationship between our capacity for seeing-as\, the determination \;of new concepts\, and our capacity for using and extending the use of \;concepts in hitherto novel situations.
