1st Conference of the Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy

1st Conference of the Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy (16 + 17th-18th October 2024). 

The Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy is comprised by a global community of young philosophers, students, and enthusiasts devoted to exploring and advancing the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein - one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. 

This conference is the first physical meeting of the Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy and it will take place from the 17th to the 18th of October 2024 in the Universitat de les Illes Balears (Palma de Mallorca, Spain). The keynote speakers will be Prof. Dr. Sorin Bangu (University of Bergen) and Prof. Dr. Benjamin De Mesel (KU Leuven)

In addition, we will have a one-day workshop (16th of October) dedicated to Hinge epistemology. This event will be in collaboration with the co-organizers of the New Waves in Hinge Epistemology (see here: https://www.hinge-epistemology.co.uk/). This colalborative workshop will be organized in a Hybrid format. A CfR will be circulated separately. 

The aim of the conference is to focus on Wittgenstein's thought-provoking ideas spanning language, logic, mind, mathematics, and culture to demonstrate its application to a variety of philosophical issues. Whether you're fascinated by his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, the Philosophical Investigations, or his significant contributions to the philosophy of mind and language, this conference provides an enriching environment to further analyze into these complex explorations. Together, we can push the boundaries of understanding and illuminate the complexities of our shared human experience through the lens of Wittgenstein's enduring wisdom.
