CFP: XVII Inter-University Workshop on Mind, Art, and Morality: The Meaning of Mortality

The Inter-University Workshop on Mind, Art and Morality promotes the interconnections across different areas in philosophy and, more specifically it favors the study of issues lying at the intersection of ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of mind. In previous editions, the Workshop has been devoted either to the production of a particular philosoher, such as Richard Wollheim, Jonathan Dancy, Christine Korsgaard, Shaun Nichols, David Filkenstein, and Malcolm Budd; or to explore topics like the Philosophy of Music (with Peter Kivy, Noël Carroll or Derek Matravers), Self-Knowledge (with David Filkenstein and Sarah Sawyer) Art and Negative Emotions (with Susan Feagin and Eileen John) or the Cognitive Value of Fiction ( Gregory Currie, Robert Pippin).

The 2026 edition will explore a central philosophical topic, namely: the meaning of mortality.
