OASIS 6 (Ontology As Structured by the Interfaces with Semantics 6) will take place at the Centro de Linguí\;stica da Universidade de Lisboa\, 13-16 October\, 2026.
\nThe OASIS conference series aims to promote conversation across different disciplines that interface with semantics\, using ontological questions as shared reference points. The broad questions in the background are these: 1. What basic ontological building blocks do we use to talk and think about the world? 2. How do these building blocks get combined? 3. And how do grammatical and cognitive phenomena motivate the answers to the first two questions? For more information\, see the OASIS credo.
\nWe welcome submissions from semantics and semantics-adjacent domains\, including philosophy and the cognitive sciences. We will host sessions bringing together linguists and philosophers to discuss foundational questions in linguistics and their relation to broader philosophical issues. The sessions will introduce some of the central assumptions and frameworks of contemporary linguistic theory and provide informal opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange. Philosophers and others interested in language\, mind\, or cognition are particularly encouraged to attend.
\nInvited speakers:
\nSatellite session: Creoles as windows on language and cognition This special session will focus on Creoles as full-fledged natural languages that emerged in certain socio-historical environments shaped by European colonial expansion. For any given theory of Creole formation\, those contexts involve language contact and innovation through complex processes of language acquisition\, therefore providing a particular starting point for research on how conceptual categories are mapped into diverse grammatical systems.
\nAbstract submission:
\nAbstracts are due on May 15\, 2026. Submission will be via the conference Open Review page. Authors should be aware of OpenReview's moderation policy for newly created profiles in the Call for Papers:
\nIf you are submitting for the satellite workshop\, please indicate this by including &ldquo\;[for satellite workshop]&rdquo\; under the title of your abstract.
\nAbstracts must be anonymous\, in pdf format\, 2 A4 pages\, in a font size no less than 12pt. You may submit at most two abstracts but can be single author on only one.
\nLinguists and any others submitting very technical research: It is absolutely necessary that you do what you can to make your abstract accessible to an interdisciplinary audience. This doesn't mean eschewing all formalism\, but do pitch your abstract so that a non-technical reader can get something interesting out of it.

Computation profoundly shapes how we think\, communicate\, and relate to the world. Yet the philosophical and anthropological foundations of this practice&mdash\;rooted in formal logic and symbolic manipulation&mdash\;often remain underexplored. Computation is not merely a technique\, a cognitive routine\, or a fixed feature of the natural world\; rather\, it is a complex cultural practice that interacts with and structures thought and world alike\, deeply redefining both.
\nThe genealogy of computational thought reveals a crucial paradox: though originally understood as an impersonal\, purely formal device\, computation is inextricably interwoven with human life. From inscriptional practices that encode cognitive strategies to logical machines that simulate universal rules of reasoning\; from artificial neural architectures that fuse mechanical rules and behavioral theory to neuroscientific models that render the brain an algorithmic device&mdash\;computation emerges as a cultural force no less potent than art\, myth\, or language.
\nThe phenomenological tradition offers valuable conceptual tools for grasping the complexity of these practices and their conceptual forms. Husserl&rsquo\;s rarely applied idea of &ldquo\;language as calculation&rdquo\; suggests that symbolic notation functions not only as an instrument of communication but as a medium capable of generating what we might call &ldquo\;computational evidence&rdquo\;&mdash\;a clarity produced through the systematic manipulation of symbols. This perspective widens our understanding of writing in all its forms\, pointing to a dynamic interaction between phenomenology and computation.
\nAt the same time\, the history of logical machines&mdash\;from nineteenth‑century devices to today&rsquo\;s AI architectures&mdash\;highlights a further tension between the impersonal universality and technical reproducibility of algorithmic calculation and the personal construction of meaning.
\nDespite rich theoretical premises\, the practical successes of computation have often obscured the historical‑conceptual background of debates on artificial intelligence. Strictly speaking\, the epistemology of AI stands on behaviorist and cybernetic paradigms that frame cognition and thought as algorithmic processes. These &ldquo\;operative concepts&rdquo\;&mdash\;to borrow Eugen Fink&rsquo\;s distinction between &ldquo\;thematic&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;operative&rdquo\; concepts&mdash\;characterize our approach to classical philosophical problems\, predisposing us to read intelligence\, consciousness\, language\, creativity\, and so forth in computational terms\, thereby generating a familiar vicious circle.
\nIn neuroscience\, the temptation to interpret the brain as a computer raises fundamental epistemological questions. Computational models\, for all their productivity\, may furnish convenient abstractions rather than capture the brain&rsquo\;s actual functioning. Built on data averages and variance filtering\, such models struggle to reproduce the organ&rsquo\;s staggering complexity. These simplifications\, however interesting\, may not reveal an intrinsic computational essence of the brain.
\nTo resist such assumptions\, it may be fruitful to consider computation as a &ldquo\;symbolic form&rdquo\; in the Cassirerian sense: a capacity that not only processes but also structures how we conceive of and relate to the world. The potential case studies are innumerable\, yet the guiding philosophical question should remain the same: Can the concept of symbolic form be applied to the ways different artificial intelligences shape the world? Do AIs in any meaningful sense possess an &ldquo\;external&rdquo\; world? And is this enough to deny that human reality&mdash\;with its perceptions and values&mdash\;is itself shaped by codes\, algorithms\, and digital infrastructures?
\nFinally\, in connection with these questions\, we must investigate the ethical‑political impact of AI: how do algorithms condition our decisions and structure their logical form? Can human beings still be regarded as autonomous and responsible moral subjects in a world increasingly characterized by co‑agency between humans and intelligent machines?
\nThis dossier of Scienza &\; Filosofia seeks to create an interdisciplinary space for reflection that illuminates the historical\, genealogical\, phenomenological\, and epistemological entanglements of computational thought. Our aim is not only to clarify the roots of computational thinking but also to enrich the ongoing dialogue on the role of technology and computation in contemporary culture.

Il calcolo plasma profondamente il modo in cui pensiamo\, comunichiamo e ci rapportiamo al mondo. Eppure\, i fondamenti filosofici e antropologici di questa pratica &ndash\; radicati nella logica formale e nella manipolazione simbolica &ndash\; rimangono spesso inesplorati. La computazione non è\; semplicemente una tecnica\, una pratica cognitiva o una caratteristica immutabile del mondo naturale: è\; piuttosto una pratica culturale complessa\, che interagisce e struttura il pensiero e il mondo\, ridefinendoli profondamente.
\nLa genealogia del pensiero computazionale rivela un paradosso cruciale: sebbene originariamente concepito come un dispositivo puramente formale e impersonale\, la computazione è\; intrecciata in modo inestricabile alla vita umana. Dalle pratiche di scrittura che codificano strategie cognitive alle macchine logiche che simulano le regole universali del ragionamento\, dalle architetture neurali artificiali che fondono regole meccaniche e teoria comportamentale con i modelli neuroscientifici che rendono il cervello una macchina algoritmica\, il calcolo si configura come una forza culturale potente quanto arte\, mito o linguaggio.
\nLa tradizione fenomenologica offre strumenti concettuali preziosi per comprendere la complessità\; di tali pratiche e delle loro forme concettuali. L&rsquo\;idea husserliana del &ldquo\;linguaggio come calcolo&rdquo\;\, raramente applicata alla comprensione della scrittura\, suggerisce che la notazione simbolica funzioni non solo come strumento di comunicazione\, ma come medium capace di generare quella che potremmo chiamare &ldquo\;evidenza computazionale&rdquo\; &ndash\; una chiarezza prodotta dalla manipolazione sistematica di simboli. Questa prospettiva espande la nostra visione della scrittura &ndash\; di qualsiasi tipo essa sia &ndash\;\, suggerendo invece un&rsquo\;interazione dinamica tra fenomenologia e calcolo.
\nLa storia delle macchine logiche\, dai primi dispositivi ottocenteschi alle contemporanee architetture di intelligenza artificiale\, illumina\, tuttavia\, un&rsquo\;ulteriore tensione: quella tra l&rsquo\;universalità\; impersonale e riproducibilità\; tecnica del calcolo algoritmico e la costruzione personale di significato. \;
\nPur muovendosi entro queste premesse teoriche\, l&rsquo\;impatto dei risultati pratici ha offuscato il retroterra storico‑concettuale del dibattito sull&rsquo\;intelligenza artificiale. L&rsquo\;epistemologia dell&rsquo\;intelligenza artificiale\, infatti\, a voler rimanere stretti\, si regge sui paradigmi comportamentisti e cibernetici\, che inquadrano la cognizione e il pensiero come processi algoritmici. Tali concetti &ldquo\;operativi&rdquo\; &ndash\; per riprendere la distinzione di Eugen Fink tra concetti &ldquo\;tematici&rdquo\; e &ldquo\;operativi&rdquo\; &ndash\; plasmano il modo in cui comprendiamo i classici problemi della tradizione filosofica\, poiché\; ci predispongono a interpretare i problemi dell&rsquo\;intelligenza\, della coscienza\, del linguaggio\, della creatività\; e così\; via in termini computazionali\, generando il più\; classico dei circoli viziosi.
\nIn ambito neuroscientifico\, sappiamo\, che la tentazione di interpretare il cervello come un computer solleva interrogativi epistemologici fondamentali. I modelli computazionali\, pur essendo straordinariamente produttivi\, potrebbero offrire astrazioni convenienti piuttosto che catturare il funzionamento reale del cervello. Le teorie computazionali si basano su medie di dati e filtraggio di varianze\, strumenti per mezzo dei quali risulta difficile riprodurre la complessità\; strabiliante dell&rsquo\;organo cerebrale. Queste semplificazioni\, quindi\, per quanto preziose\, potrebbero non rivelare un&rsquo\;essenza computazionale intrinseca del cervello.
\nPer scongiurare assunzioni di questo tipo\, può\; essere opportuno considerare la computazione come &ldquo\;forma simbolica&rdquo\; \; \;nel senso cassireriano\, ovverosia nei termini di una capacità\; che non solo elabora\, ma struttura il modo in cui concepiamo e ci rapportiamo al mondo. I casi di studio a cui applicare quest&rsquo\;idea sono potenzialmente innumerevoli\, ma la domanda filosofica guida dovrebbe rimanere la stessa: si può\; applicare il concetto di forma simbolica al modo in cui le diverse intelligenze artificiali plasmano il mondo? Esiste realmente un mondo &ldquo\;esterno&rdquo\; per le intelligenze artificiali? E questo basta a negare che la realtà\; umana\, con le sue percezioni e i suoi valori\, non sia plasmata da codici\, algoritmi e infrastrutture digitali?
\nIn relazione a quest&rsquo\;ultima domanda\, occorrerà\; infine indagare l&rsquo\;impatto etico-politico dell&rsquo\;intelligenza artificiale: in che modo gli algoritmi condizionano le nostre decisioni e ne strutturano la forma logica? Gli esseri umani potranno essere considerati soggetti morali autonomi e responsabili in un mondo in cui la co-agentività\; fra uomini e macchine intelligenti caratterizzerà\; sempre più\; la quotidianità\; di tutti noi?
\nQuesto dossier di Scienza&\;Filosofia auspica la creazione di uno spazio di riflessione interdisciplinare per illuminare gli intrecci storici\, genealogici\, fenomenologici ed epistemologici del pensiero computazionale. Il dossier mira a chiarire non solo le radici del pensiero computazionale\, ma anche ad arricchire il dialogo in corso sul ruolo della tecnologia e del calcolo nella cultura contemporanea.
\nSpunti tematici\, non vincolanti\, per la riflessione:
\nSono ben accetti contributi provenienti dalla filosofia (fenomenologia\, filosofia analitica\, filosofia della mente\, science and technology studies/STS\, storia delle idee)\, dalle scienze cognitive\, dall&rsquo\;informatica\, dalle neuroscienze\, dagli studi sui media e da ambiti affini.

\nFor centuries\, philosophers and logicians have examined conditional constructions&mdash\;statements of the form &ldquo\;if A\, then B&rdquo\;&mdash\;in natural languages\, yielding numerous insights. However\, we still do not have a complete understanding of conditional constructions and their fundamental relationship to reasoning\, specifically the process of inferring B from A. Recently\, scholars from fields such as logic\, linguistics\, cognitive science\, corpora\, and artificial intelligence have begun to shed new light on this area of research.
\nWe are organizing a thematic school with a strong interdisciplinary focus centered on linguistics\, logic\, the role of diachrony in conditional constructions\, and corpus studies. Following three successful thematic schools in \;2019\, \;2022\, and \;2024\, the upcoming Conditionals school will take place at INALCO in Paris from October 26 to 30\, 2026.
\nWhile the school primarily aims to provide French researchers with the latest developments in the logical\, linguistic\, and cognitive aspects of conditional constructions\, it is also open to researchers from around the globe. All are cordially invited to join us! All participants will have the opportunity to present their research work during the poster sessions.
\nThe faculty will include prominent academics such as \;Hadil Karawani \;(Konstanz)\, \;Stefan Kaufmann (Connecticut)\, \;Dean McHugh \;(Edinburgh)\, \;Ezra la Roi \;(Ghent and Leuven)\, and \;Alex Reuneker (Leiden). This comprehensive five-day training program will promote the development and dissemination of research on conditional constructions. The event is financially supported by \;CNRS\, InIdex-EFL\, \;INALCO \;and \;PLIDAM.

\nCall for Abstracts
\nEditors: Michael J. Ardoline and Corry Shores
\nDeadline for Abstracts: October 30th\, 2026
\nWe invite abstracts for chapters in an edited volume on the Continental Philosophy of Non-Classical Logics. Non-classical logics are formal systems which differ in some important way(s) from classical logic. Because classical logic is partially based on traditional views of rationality\, a non-classical logic is then at least implicitly a critique of that view of rationality and its assumptions. Such critiques of rationality are central to the projects of many canonical philosophers in the Continental tradition. However\, those philosophers rarely if ever formalized their views. Recently\, scholars interested in both continental thought and formal logic have researched which non-classical logics might align with different continental thinkers' accounts as well as what new logics might result from a thinker's critique of rationality.
\nThis volume will bring this work together for the first time and establish the subfield of Continental Approaches to Non-Classical Logics. We are interested in exegetical as well as original formal and non-formal work on this topic\, from scholars coming from either a continental or analytic background. Related work so far has been produced on figures such as Hegel\, Heidegger\, Deleuze\, Deleuze\, and Laruelle. We hope this volume will contribute to deepening these studies\, include works on canonical figures whose potential intersections with non-classical logic have not yet received sustained treatment (such as Levinas\, Kristeva\, or Foucault)\, and on new movements following form the continental tradition such as new materialism\, speculative realism\, object-oriented ontology\, and neo-rationalism.
\nPossible Topics (not limited to):
\nRelevance logics and sense
\nContinental critiques of logic extended to non-classical logics
\nParacompleteness and totality
\nFeminist critiques of traditional rationality and non-classical reasoning
\nParaconsistency and Heidegger
\nKristeva\, the abject\, and the inclosure schema
\nPhenomenology\, intuitionism\, and contradictory experience
\nBadiou on negation and void
\nDifference\, diffé\;rance\, and the law of identity
\nIneffability and reasoning at the limits of thought
\nHegel&rsquo\;s dialectic and dialethism
\nModal logics and Deleuze&rsquo\;s critique of the possible
\nPossible worlds\, impossible worlds\, and life worlds
\nNon-classical logics and non-philosophy
\nAlterity and non-classical negation
\nNon-classical reasoning and the structures of experience
\nUndecidability\, nonmonotonicity\, and the event
\nPluralism\, truth gluts\, truth gaps\, and many-valued logics
\n\nPreliminary interest for this volume has been shown by Edinburgh University Press for their Intersections in Continental and Analytic Philosophy series.
\nPlease email your abstracts to: continentalnonclassicallogic@gmail.com . Abstracts should be between 300-500 words\, include 5-6 keywords\, and be in docx or pdf format. Abstracts should also include in a short bio with the author&rsquo\;s name\, institutional affiliation\, and relevant publications.
\nDeadline for Abstracts: October 30th\, 2026

\n&lsquo\;(Perceived) Dichotomies in Mathematics: Opposites\, Boundaries\, and Tensions in the History and Philosophy of Mathematics&rsquo\;
\n&mdash\; Call for Abstracts &mdash\;
\nhttps://novembertagung.wordpress.com/novembertagung-2026/ \;
\nThe Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics is an international conference aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers in the history\, philosophy of mathematics and related areas. This event offers an opportunity to share your work in progress in a collegial atmosphere and receive feedback.
\nThe 36th edition of the Novembertagung will take place in Istanbul (Turkey) from November 3rd to 5th\, 2026. It will be hosted by theInstitute for the History of Science at Istanbul Medeniyet University. The keynote speakers will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Please see the website for the most up-to-date information.
\nThe conference is planned as an in-person event. For those who require financial assistance\, please indicate so in your application as we may be able to provide some funding.
\nThis year&rsquo\;s Novembertagung theme centres on Opposites\, Boundaries and Tensions in the History and Philosophy of Mathematics. We will explore the ways in which mathematical belief\, disagreement and conflict are both formed and conducted\, and the ways that these tensions and disagreements shape both the content and perception of mathematical belief. Believing that mathematical disagreement is much more substantial than a question of &lsquo\;right&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;wrong&rsquo\;\, we call for papers that explore how Opposites\, Boundaries and Tensions are formed\, expressed and entrenched throughout mathematical history.
\nAbstracts about the following\, non exhaustive\, list of topics will be welcomed:
\nAbstract dichotomies: objects and concepts\, theory and practice\, informal and formal reasoning\, etc.
\nThe formation of mathematical disciplines
\nThe resolution of mathematical disputes
\nThe roles of institutions in forming mathematical culture
\nHistorical and Philosophical approaches to the treatment of mathematical disputation
\nHow mathematical and &lsquo\;extra-mathematical&rsquo\; thought interact in shaping mathematical and non-mathematical belief
\nHistoriographical work that explores how these concepts are treated in the literature. \;
\nWhile the topic of the submission should ideally be related to the conference&rsquo\;s theme\, most topics that fall under the broader heading of philosophy or history of mathematics\, and that can fruitfully be connected to it will be welcomed as valuable additions to the conference. Early-Career and graduate students working on conflict theory in academia and society more general\, or at the intersection of the History of Mathematics and science more generally for example\, are also welcome to submit their work.
\nPhD students and early-career researchers are invited to submit abstracts.
\nAbstracts should be written in English and not exceed 300 words.
\nAll submissions should be suitable for a 20-minute presentation\, followed by a 10-minute discussion.
\nAbstracts should be sent as a PDF file prepared for blind review (do not put your name nor affiliation in the abstract\, only in your email) to
\nnovembertagung.hpm@gmail.com \;
\nPlease include your full name and affiliation in your email.
\nWe expect to secure funding for accommodation expenses\, or travel in exceptional cases\, as mentioned earlier. Please\, let us know in your application if you would like to be considered for funding.
\nThe deadline for submissions is May 31st\, 2026.
\nIf you have any further questions\, feel free to contact the organisers atnovembertagung.hpm@gmail.com

\nA partire da queste parole di Aldo Masullo\, scritte nel 1961\, il convegno intende indagare un tema che\, per molta filosofia del Novecento\, ha rappresentato uno dei principali limiti della fenomenologia e che\, negli ultimi anni\, si è\; invece rivelato uno dei suoi aspetti più\; fecondi: il rapporto tra logica e psicologia.
\nCostitutivo della formazione filosofica di Husserl e decisivo per l&rsquo\;evoluzione del suo pensiero\, il confronto tra logica e psicologia ha orientato gran parte dello sviluppo del movimento fenomenologico. La fenomenologia\, infatti\, non si è\; limitata alla critica delle diverse forme di psicologismo &ndash\; logico\, gnoseologico ed etico &ndash\; ma ha elaborato una nuova concezione delle relazioni tra validità\; logica\, intenzionalità\; e soggettività\;.
\nSi può\; sostenere che\, per comprendere le diverse fasi del pensiero husserliano\, così\; come per distinguere le principali stagioni della tradizione fenomenologica\, sia necessario chiarire le differenti concezioni di logica e di psicologia che vi sono implicate. In questa prospettiva\, il rapporto tra questi due ambiti non costituisce soltanto una questione interna alla fenomenologia\, ma rappresenta una chiave interpretativa essenziale per comprendere il suo sviluppo storico e teorico.
\nAl di là\; del perimetro strettamente fenomenologico\, la relazione tra logica e psicologia occupa oggi una posizione centrale nel dibattito filosofico contemporaneo: dalla teoria della conoscenza alla teoria dei concetti\, dall&rsquo\;etica all&rsquo\;antropologia\, dalla filosofia delle scienze cognitive alla filosofia della mente\, dalla filosofia della logica alla psicopatologia.
\nIn questo quadro\, si invitano studiose e studiosi a presentare contributi di carattere storico o teorico sui seguenti temi:
\n1. Fenomenologia e psicologia\;
\n2. Fenomenologia e psicopatologia\;
\n3. Fenomenologia e logica\;
\n4. Etica fenomenologica tra logica e psicologia\;
\n5. Fenomenologia\, scienze cognitive ed epistemologia\;
\n6. Fenomenologia e teoria delle emozioni\;
\n7. Fenomenologia e antropologia\;
\n8. Fenomenologia e trascendentale.

UID:20261015T011302Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-8d97778f4-j59r7 TZID:Europe/Berlin LOCATION:Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1\, Munich\, Germany DESCRIPTION:Logic is often regarded as neutral within a theoretical\, conceptual framework.
\nOn a traditional view\, it is topic-neutral and metaphysically neutral: its laws and principles apply irrespective of subject matter\, abstracting from the particular domains to which they are applied. In this sense\, logic would provide a framework for reasoning independent of what we are reasoning about. Moreover\, as a scientific discipline\, logic is commonly expected to be neutral to social and political commitments. Indeed\, because of its high degree of abstraction\, this may be expected of logic more strongly than of most other disciplines.
\nMeanwhile\, the purely theoretical view on logic faces revisions from research practices through logical devices. Within a practical framework\, some philosophers and logicians have nevertheless questioned whether logic is genuinely neutral. For instance\, some have questioned whether topic-neutrality can be sustained considering debates over logical pluralism\, expressive power\, and domain pertinence. Others have discussed whether logic can\, in practice\, be disentangled from the social and institutional contexts in which it is developed\, taught\, and applied.
\nThis workshop will examine the idea of logical neutrality from multiple perspectives.
\nEvent dedicated to the memory of Susan Haack.

The Saul Kripke Center invites submissions for Logic in Metaphysics: Classical and Non-Classical Approaches\, a two-day conference on the role of logic in contemporary metaphysics. This conference will showcase work that uses\, develops\, or critically examines both classical and non-classical logical frameworks in addressing metaphysical questions. We welcome papers addressing the general question of what logic can or should contribute to metaphysical inquiry as well as particular cases in which metaphysical theorizing appears to support\, require\, or resist departures from classical logic. Topics may include\, but are not limited to\, realism and antirealism\, indeterminacy and vagueness\, impossible worlds and counterpossibles\, dialetheism\, future contingents\, and non-classical reconstructions of classical metaphysical views (e.g.\, logical atomism or verificationism). Papers defending classical approaches are welcome. \;
Invited speakers:
Cian Dorr (NYU)
Kit Fine (NYU)
Achille Varzi (Columbia)
Jessica Wilson (Toronto) \;
We invite submissions for up to six contributed talks (preference may be given to current graduate students or early-career philosophers). Please submit a non-anonymized abstract of 500&ndash\;1\,000 words\, suitable for a 40- to 45-minute presentation\, as a PDF to kripkecenter@gc.cuny.edu.
\nSubmission deadline: Dec 1\, 2026
\nNotification: Dec 20\, 2026
We have limited funds to defray some of the costs of participants' attendance to the conference. The conference is fully in-person.
The Amsterdam Colloquia aim to bring together linguists\, philosophers\, logicians\, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. The Amsterdam Colloquia are organized by the Institute for Logic\, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the University of Amsterdam.
\nWith this year's edition\, the Amsterdam Colloquium turns half a century old! \; To celebrate the 50th anniversary we will host a special session on The Past and Future of Semantics. A history of the Amsterdam Colloquium can be found on the website of its Proceedings (https://platform.openjournals.nl/PAC/history). \;
\nIn addition to the general program and the special session\, the 25th Amsterdam Colloquium will feature a workshop on Semantics and Non-classical Logics. The Colloquium will also include a poster session and an evening lecture by Prof. Nicholas Asher\, jointly organised with the E. W. Beth Foundation.

\nWe are pleased to announce that DEON 2027\, the 18th International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative Systems\, will be held at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou\, China\, from 29 June to 1 July 2027 &mdash\; the first edition of the series to be held in Asia since its founding in 1991. The conference is hosted by the School of Philosophy of Zhejiang University and the Zhejiang University&ndash\;University of Luxembourg Joint Lab on Advanced Intelligent Systems and Reasoning (ZLAIRE).
\nThe biennial DEON conference series brings together researchers interested in the formal study of normative concepts\, normative reasoning\, and normative systems\, using methods from computer science\, artificial intelligence\, philosophy\, linguistics\, mathematics\, and law. Topics include deontic logic\, normative reasoning\, legal reasoning\, normative multi-agent systems\, explainability\, and trustworthy systems (full list on the website).
\nThe general theme of this edition is Normativity under Uncertainty. Normative systems are inescapably confronted with uncertainty: agents must frequently deliberate about what ought to be done on the basis of information that is incomplete\, imprecise\, or conflicting &mdash\; about the facts of the case\, the norms in force\, the consequences of action\, or the reliability of one's sources. This edition investigates how central normative concepts\, among them obligation\, permission\, responsibility\, and blame\, can be rigorously formalized\, interpreted\, and applied once the classical idealizations of certainty\, consistency\, and full information are lifted.

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.
