Philosophica is an analytic philosophy conference series hosted by the Institute of Philosophy at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University. The theme of this edition of the conference is words and language\, engaging with philosophical work addressing the nature of expressions\, meaning\, and natural language more broadly construed.
\nWe invite contributions on topics like the ontology of words\, word individuation\, pragmatic features of expressions\, meaning in natural language (metasemantics)\, or the relationship between words and language\, among others.
\nTopics broadly related to natural language are welcome\; contributions do not need to place special emphasis on words as such\, though this is welcome.
\nInterdisciplinary perspectives drawing on linguistics\, semantics\, metaphysics\, and other relevant areas are also welcome.
\nThe event will take place exclusively in person\; it is open to both regular faculty and students.
\nThe conference will run from 17/09/2026 to 18/09/2026. \;
