The sixth meeting of the Warwick Continental Philosophy Conference (WCPC) seeks to delve into the different ways in which we come to understand and engage with value and the valuable\, broadly conceived. We aspire to promote discussions exploring the relationships and intersections between the various dimensions\, sites\, perspectives\, and practices of value from within or beyond social\, aesthetic\, epistemological\, and moral approaches.
\nThere have been continuities and ruptures in how sites of value (e.g.\, metaphysical values\, aesthetic values\, social values\, methodological values etc.) have been understood and defined throughout the history of (Western and non-Western) philosophy. The concept of &ldquo\;play&rdquo\;\, for example\, has\, in some sense\, been linked to aesthetic value from the philosophy of 18th-century thinkers such as Kant and Schiller\, through to the work of Gadamer in the 20th \;century. On the other hand\, conceptions of moral and political value have seen profound discontinuity. The idealism of 17th \;and 18th-century German philosophy faced sustained critique from Marx and those inspired by his materialism\, who\, in turn\, were criticised by thinkers such as Foucault and Lyotard for their espousal of a historical &ldquo\;metanarrative&rdquo\;. The value of philosophy itself has too been a subject of contention\, as we have seen with debates on the value of differing methodological approaches in philosophy. Hegel\, for example\, was insistent that the value of philosophy is to be found in an immanent critical beginning. Adorno\, in his \;Minima Moralia\, \;lambasts philosophy which seeks to render explicit all of its steps\, from argument to conclusion\, as &ldquo\;painfully lucid&rdquo\;.
\nAs well as these historical debates\, we have also seen contention among differing \;geographical \;and \;cultural \;approaches to value. Within the Western cultural imaginary\, the virtues of individualism and the liberal &ldquo\;good life&rdquo\; are a frequent refrain. Yet\, beyond its borders\, we find emphasis on the value of collectivism and community and\, in Eastern thought in particular\, a prioritisation of the harmony between nature and human beings. Related to this\, contemporary challenges to the colonial legacy of Western theory and praxis seek to disrupt sedimented and uncritical attitudes to and conceptualisations of valuable bodies\, voices\, and practices. The rise and popularity of critical phenomenology amongst material feminist scholars\, disability theorists and queer theorists &ndash\; such as Lisa Guenther\, Linda Martina Alcoff\, or Sara Ahmed &ndash\; so too seem to demonstrate the desire to depart from traditional hegemonic value-systems and practices.
\nThis conference is\, therefore\, an opportunity to come together and seek to answer whether it is possible to find common ground in such disjunctions and whether tensions can be found in the continuities. With this in mind\, some questions that may be explored include\, but are not limited to:
\nWe warmly invite philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions to the conference and especially welcome submissions from scholars who are junior\, early career and/or from non-traditional backgrounds. To ensure that people from the widest range of backgrounds can fully participate in the submission process and conference proceedings\, we are happy to provide any adjustments.
