CFP: The 4th Annual Chicagoland Graduate Philosophy Conference: Internal and External

The graduate students in philosophy at UIC, Northwestern, and U Chicago invite submissions from graduate students for a conference to be held at UIC March 11-12, 2017.

The theme of this year’s conference is the distinction between the internal and the external(broadly construed). Topics of interest may include but are certainly not limited to: debates about internalism vs. externalism in various subfields of philosophy and especially the assumptions behind such debates. For instance, what is the normative significance of the distinction between the inner and the outer? What explanatory value, if any, does the distinction have? Is there often a false dichotomy involved in making a distinction between the inner and the outer, the internal and the external?  

Papers from all areas of philosophy are welcome. We especially encourage papers from underrepresented groups.

Keynote Speakers:

Agnes Callard (U of C)

and

Anthony Laden (UIC)
