\n\nPhilosophy in the 21st century has been reinvigorated by a set of disputes which both challenge its disciplinary status and open up new areas of contention. Some argue that philosophy is not a site of truth\; others argue that it reconstructs the rationality that subjects already possess\; others contend that rationality is simply the mirror image of multiple forms of domination. The politics of affect\; the turn to an ethics of the other\; feminist challenges to the masculinity of reason\; decolonial critiques of the relationship between philosophy and colonialism: all have put into question the way philosophy polices the boundaries which define the discipline. This conference probes the future of philosophy\; what it might be\; and how it relates both to politics\, ethics and other disciplines. \;\n\n
\n\nWe encourage contributions from any philosophical\, ethical or political &ldquo\;tradition&rdquo\; addressing the range of contentions which define the field of contemporary philosophy. Themes include\, but are not limited to\, the following. Contributions may well range across several of these questions.\n\n

Should it be?\n\nIs there a public role for philosophy?\n\nGender and philosophy: is the discipline intrinsically sexist?\n\nRace and philosophy: is racism intrinsic to philosophy?\n\nDecolonising philosophy: what is to be done? Is it necessary?\n\nWhat has philosophy to say to others?\n\nPhilosophy for children\n\nAre there appropriate limits to philosophy?\n\nLove and wisdom in the age of post-truth.\n\nBio-politics\, ontology and the question of humanity\n\n
\n\n
