CFP: The Nomological, the Mental, and Agency

Our conference deals with cashing out the relationship between philosophical accounts of laws of nature and complex phenomena, particularly types of mental phenomena such as mental causation and agency. Though papers from all areas of philosophy are welcome, we will give special consideration to papers focused on the conference theme, including: philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, agency theory, Free-Will, and critiques of scientistic attempts to deal with the mind.
