Attention constitutes one of the most fundamental yet under-theorized dimensions of human experience. Despite its centrality to perception\, cognition\, action\, and intersubjectivity\, the philosophical investigation of attention as a concept in its own right remains surprisingly underdeveloped. This international conference represents the first major initiative of a four-year research program (2025-2029) dedicated to establishing the philosophy of attention as a major field of contemporary philosophical inquiry.
\n\n\n\nThis conference seeks to bring these rich historical engagements into systematic dialogue with contemporary philosophy. We welcome contributions from all philosophical traditions and approaches\, including but not limited to: the reflexive tradition\, hermeneutics\, phenomenology\, empiricist and analytic philosophy\, philosophy of mind\, cognitive science\, pragmatism\, and non-Western philosophical traditions. We aim to explore how different philosophical frameworks have conceptualized attention's structure\, dynamics\, and normative dimensions\, and how these varied perspectives can illuminate both historical debates and current research.
