Conference Description
Karl Popper (1902-1994) is widely considered as one of the mostinfluential philosophers of science and one of the most prolific thinkers in the 20th century. His work heavily influenced the development of philosophy of science in China\, especially in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many renown Chinese philosophers of science were first attracted to the field because of their reading of Popper. In 1987\, there was a conference on Popper's philosophy at Wuhan University\, sponsored by George Soros\, Popper's for er student. It featured talks by leading Popper scholars and philosophers of science (e.g. I n Hacking and Alan Musgrave) and leading Chinese philosophers (e.g. Fan Dainian and Jiang Tianji) at the time. The proceedings of the conference were published as an edited volume by Routledge in 1992. Recently there was a revival of interest in the work of KarlPopper in China. This conference aims to examine the influence of Popper&rsquo\;s work on the development of philosophy of science in China and assess and explore his legacy on contemporary philosophy of science in China.

Callfor Papers: Chinese Philosophy and Psychological Wellbeing
\nDeadline for Submissions: 31 May 2026
\nGuest Editor: Yuchen Liang liangyc@cuhk.edu.cn

\nModern mental health is often framed through a Western clinical lens. This Special Issue explores how Chinese philosophy&mdash\;both ancient and contemporary&mdash\;provide a different map for the human &ldquo\;heart-mind&rdquo\; (xin 心). We want to bridge the gap between abstract philosophy and the lived experience of wellbeing\, looking at everything from ancient concepts of gan感 and qing 情 to how Chinese thought can help us survive the modern &ldquo\;attention economy&rdquo\; and mental health crisis.
\nKey Themes &\;Areas of Interest:
\nDefining the Healthy Self: How do Confucian\, Daoist\, and Chinese Buddhist texts define a &ldquo\;well&rdquo\; person? How does this differ from Western notions of mental health? Can we use Chinese standards like qingzhi 情志 in addition to contemporary frameworks like the DSM-5?
\nPhilosophical Psychotherapy: Using Chinese concepts in clinical settings or as frameworks for mental health treatment such as the &ldquo\;Indigenous psychology&rdquo\; (本土心理學).
\nThe &ldquo\;Attention Economy&rdquo\; &\; Psychopolitics: How Chinese philosophy can critique or resist the digital exhaustion of modern life\, or combination of psychology and technology in social control?
\nThe Ethics of Care: How Chinese medical ethics (traditional Chinese medicine) and theories of the self(gongfulun 功夫論) change how we approach psychologicalsuffering and psycho-physiological illness?
\nChinese Affect Theory: How Chinese conceptslike gan 感 and qing 情 construct unique approach regarding Western originated concepts like affects and emotions?
\nTypes of Submissions We&rsquo\;re Looking For:
\nHistorical Research: Deep dives into ancient texts with a focus on psychological application.
\nContemporary Critique: How Chinese philosophy interacts with modern political and social pressures.
\nComparative Pieces: Dialogues between Chinese thought and Western psychology.
\nCase Studies: Philosophical reflections on mental health practices or specific psychological phenomena.

Against the dominant disposition to look upon contradiction as an obstacle to absolute knowledge\, the Kyoto School recognizes contradiction as the key to unlocking the secrets of absolute totality. The Summer School will think with major thinkers of the Kyoto School on totality and contradiction. Philosophizing with Nishida\, Takahashi\, Tanabe\, Nishitani\, Ueda\, Miki\, Tosaka\, and Watsuji\, the Summer School will also explore the contemporary relevance of the Kyoto School for philosophical thought in the 21st century.

\nPaper proposals are invited from philosophers working with Western and/or Buddhist sources on any topic concerned with the ethics of belief\, broadly understood. Thus\, for example\, papers may be proposed regarding topics such as (but not limited to) the nature of belief\, the norms of belief and \;normativity in relation to belief\, \;evidence and evidentialism\, and the epistemic basing relation. \;Discussions concerning the relationship of belief (including in terms of its \;formation\, maintenance\, and/or relinquishment) \;to notions such as \;credence\, view\, judgment\, assent\, conviction\, faith\, trust\, hope\, and knowledge (or their analogues in Buddhist sources) \;are welcome\, as are those concerning \;the relationship of \;belief (and its ethics) to faculties such as consciousness\, cognition\, discernment\, conceptualization\, view-holding\, volition\, sensation\, and emotion (or their analogues in Buddhist sources).
\nThe research project of which this conference forms part is titled \;The Ethics of Empty Beliefs: Chinese Buddhist Philosophy in the &lsquo\;Period of Disunity&rsquo\; \;(ChinBuddhPhil)\; for more information\, see \;https://www.oeaw.ac.at/projects/chinbuddhphil. The project aims to bring Buddhist philosophical sources into conversation with Western ones\, on the understanding that Buddhist philosophers merit consideration not only as historical artifacts but as genuinely interesting and insightful contributors to live philosophical problems. As such\, the conference is intended to be dialogical\, with specialists of relevant Western and Buddhist philosophical materials engaging in debate regarding overlapping topics\, positions\, and arguments.
\nPhilosophers specializing in Western sources from any of the ancient\, medieval\, modern\, or contemporary philosophical canons are welcome to apply\; they need possess no prior knowledge of relevant Buddhist materials or debates.
\nAs for philosophers specializing in Buddhist sources\, in line with the overall focus of the ChinBuddhPhil project on the Sanlun \;三論 \;school of Chinese Buddhist philosophy\, those proposing papers on Sanlun are especially welcome to apply. More broadly\, however\, the call is open to philosophers specializing in Chinese Buddhist sources beyond Sanlun\, and more broadly still to those specializing in sources from any other among the Buddhist traditions spanning diverse geographical regions and temporal periods. Philosophers specializing in Buddhist sources need possess no prior knowledge of relevant Western materials or debates.
\nEdited volumes based on two prior project conferences have already been submitted to Oxford University Press. An edited book comprised of chapters based on the papers presented at this conference is also planned\, and potential speakers should keep in mind that they will be invited to submit a written chapter (6\,000-9\,000 words) based on their oral presentation. Each participant will also be invited to prepare a short response to another paper (1\,000-2\,000 words)\, thereby allowing philosophers working with Western sources to engage\, from within their own sphere of expertise\, with Buddhist materials\, and vice-versa. Draft papers will thus be pre-circulated to respondents.

\n·\; \; \;1 June 2026: Deadline for submission of paper proposals.
\n·\; \; \;1 July 2026: Announcement of accepted papers.

Requests for further information are also welcome. In a dedicated effort to counteract long-standing discrimination\, women and members of other identity-groups still under-represented in academe are especially encouraged to apply. This is an in-person conference\; accommodation in Vienna for participants will be funded by the organizers\, and funds are also foreseen to be available to offset travel costs to and from Vienna for those participants with no alternative sources of funding.

The relation between phenomenology and religious experience can be considered in a variety of modes: epistemic (phenomenology as a "rigorous science" of religious experience in Husserl's sense)\; ontic (phenomenology as a way to access the core motive\, or regulative ideal\, of religion)\; analogical (phenomenological experience as a secular version of religious experience)\; generalizing (religious experience turning into phenomenological experience when stripped from its dogmatic frame)\, etc. Proposals can take critical\, descriptive\, theoretical\, comparative\, historical\, or other approaches\, and they can focus on the interplay between religious or spiritual experience and assorted theoretical approaches\, or proceed from such experience towards building a new theory. In accord with Husserl&rsquo\;s original intent\, the series welcomes attempts to locate spiritual or religious experience within a broader theory of the sciences (Wissenschaftslehre) and to expand phenomenology towards transcendental philosophy and metaphysics.
The series covers five areas:
1) Clarifications of religious and spiritual experience\, its formal phenomenological research\, and its relationships to art\, textuality\, culture\, anthropology\, politics\, and comparative religion\;
2) Metaphysical extensions of the phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience\;
3) Existential and psychological analyses\, in different traditions\, of religious and spiritual experience\;
4) Theologies of religious experience\, with or beyond a specific focus on ritual and liturgy\, including liberation theologies\, feminist theologies\, theologies at the intersection of religious experience and race\, social status\, etc.\;
5) The phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience as applied to and/ or examined within medicine\, nursing\, and the health sciences and the natural and social sciences.
The series is published in cooperation with the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience\, \;www.sophere.org.
