CFP: Applying Peirce: The Second International Conference on Peirce's Thought and Its Applications

Research in Charles Sanders Peirce’s thought has grown rapidly both within and outside the arena of philosophy on the global level. Peirce’s pioneering contributions to philosophy, pragmatism, logic, the theory of signs, philosophy of science and to numerous other fields are currently being explored not only in philosophy but also in other sciences and in art studies.

The second installment of the Applying Peirce conference, first held in Helsinki in 2007, brings together Peirce scholars and researchers to explore and discuss Peirce’s thought and applications in diverse fields. The meeting takes place in the twin cities of Helsinki (22-23 April) and Tallinn (24-25 April), connected by a two-hour ferry ride. The programme consists of several workshops and a selection of contributed papers.

The organizers invite submissions on any topic in accordance to the theme of the conference. We encourage proposals that explore the applicability of Peirce’s thought to current questions and problems in various disciplines across the sciences and the arts that identify the leading edge on Peirce studies.

Please send an abstract of 300-500 words to [email protected] by 1 February 2014 (in pdf, rtf or doc format). Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 8 February 2014.

Further details will be found on the website of the conference at: http://www.nordprag.org/ap2.html
Separate calls for the thematic workshops will be launched shortly by their organizers.
Chair of the organizing committee: Prof. Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen
