The 4th annual conference of the The International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind

What is the mind, and how does it work? These questions have led to centuries of philosophical and empirical investigations, and still lack definitive answers. We thus invite submissions from all disciplines that leverage insights from the use of different techniques, methodologies, and research questions to shed light on the nature and functioning of the mind.

In this fourth web conference, we seek again to bring together many of these perspectives to build a common ground, a comprehensive and multi-scale conceptual landscape of the mind. We accept submissions from a broad range of perspectives, including - but not limited to - philosophy of psychology, philosophy of psychiatry, philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of mind, philosophy of artificial intelligence & robotics, philosophy of linguistics, philosophy of ethology, philosophy of (cognitive) anthropology, philosophy of biology, philosophy of the social sciences and consciousness studies.

We are delighted to already have a number of excellent keynote speakers confirmed for 2026, including:

Devon Bailey
University of Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa

Louise Barrett
University of Lethbridge, Canada

Ali Boyle
