We are convinced that philosophy\nbest acts from its center and most intensely radiates from there to\nits multifarious philosophical\, scientific and social challenges. And\nits center consists in its central\, in its so-called eternal\nquestions. This is reflected in the theme of the congress\, which poses\ntwo of those central questions\, perhaps the two most important: What\nmay we believe? What ought we to do?
\nThree main lectures and eleven\ncolloquia will pursue those questions in varying contexts. The main\nspeakers are: Peter M.S. Hacker\, Ulrich Blau (Erkenntnis Lecture) und\nRoy Sorensen.\nSpeakers of the so-called\nAuthor's-Colloquium will be: Rü\;diger Bittner (Frege-Prize-Winner)\,\nSarah Buss und Thomas E. Hill.\nInvited speakers of the 10 further\ncolloquia will be: Jc Beall\, Ken Binmore\, Emma\nBorg\, James Conant\, Gerhard Ernst\, Zoltá\;n Gendler Szabó\;\, Ronald\nGiere\, Gerd Gigerenzer\, Alison Hills\, Iwao Hirose\, Dominic Hyde\,\nPierre Jacob\, E. Jonathan Lowe\, Weyma Lü\;bbe\, Josef Perner\, Graham\nPriest\, Jim Pryor\, Wlodek Rabinowicz\, Franç\;ois Ré\;canati\, Geoffrey\nSayre-McCord\, Peter Schroeder-Heister\, Peter Simons\, Alison Simmons\,\nBrian Skyrms\, Gianfranco Soldati\, Kim Sterelny\, Barry Stroud\, Paul\nTeller\, Chris Tucker\, and Roger White.
\nAs in the preceding congresses there\nwill be eight sections serving a comprehensive exchange on all topics\nof analytic philosophy. GAP invites all interested persons to submit\ncontributions to GAP.8. There is a novelty: not only talks\, but\nalso posters can be submitted. All submissions can be either\niin German or in English language.
\nTalks must not exceed 25 minutes\;\nthen there will be 10 minutes time for discussion.\nPosters will be presented in the DIN\nA0 format.\nTalks and posters can be\nindependently submitted and will be independently reviewed. If more\nacceptable talks should be submitted than time allows in the various\nsections\, we reserve the right to propose a change to a submisssion in\nthe poster sessions. The University of Konstanz offers a\nbest paper and a best poster award (500 Euro each).
