Salzburg Conference for Young Analytic Philosophy: SOPhiA 2022
September 7 - 9, 2022
Department of Philosophy (Humanities), University of Salzburg, Austria
Aim:
SOPhiA 2022 provides an opportunity for students and doctoral candidates in philosophy to take a first peek into the philosophical business and to get in touch with prospective and well established philosophers. Contributions in every discipline of philosophy (epistemology, ethics, logic, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, philosophy of science, etc.) are welcome. As common in analytic philosophy, contributors should make use of understandable language as well as rational argumentation. In addition to the conference presentations there will also be affiliated workshops on selected topics in analytic philosophy.

Additional information concerning COVID-19:
At the moment, we are planning the conference as a hybrid event. If it will be possible to attend the conference physically in September 2022, the conference will conform to the COVID-19 safety measures for public events according to recent standards at that time. The organising committee reserves the right to hold the conference as an online event if need be. Authors of accepted contributions will be updated and informed in time about the status of the conference.
