Philosophica III - Objects and Metaphysics

Philosophica is an analytic philosophy conference series hosted by the Institute of Philosophy at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University. This edition's theme is objects and metaphysics, engaging with philosophical work addressing topics in metaphysics broadly construed, with an additional emphasis on the nature of objects.

We invite contributions on topics like metaontology, the ontology of words, identity and persistence, ontological dependence and grounding, properties, tropes and relations, mereology, artifacts, and abstract, fictional and impossible objects, among others.

We also welcome work broadly related to natural language, including the ontology or metaphysics of words and other traditional connections between metaphysics and language, as well as interdisciplinary perspectives drawing on logic, linguistics, philosophy of language, and other relevant areas.

The event will take place exclusively in person; it is open to both regular faculty and graduate students.

The conference will run from 19/08/2027 to 20/08/2027.

Submissions are due by 20/04/2027, and collected via Forms: Philosophica III - Submission form
