Philosophy of the City Annual Conference 2022

Philosophy of the City Research Group in collaboration with LABONT – Center for Ontology of the University of Turin is inviting proposals for presentations to the Philosophy of the City Annual Conference 2022. 

Research questions and areas that exemplify a particularly philosophical interest in cities have emerged within the recent decade, showing how philosophers and philosophically inclined interdisciplinary scholars can uniquely contribute to an understanding of the city. For this conference, we welcome all submissions aiming to understand the ontology of the city, the city as a concept, any of the ethical, aesthetic, or environmental dimensions of cities or urban life.
