CALL FOR PAPERS — PROCEEDINGS





The 11th Principia International Symposium will be held in Florianópolis, Brazil, from August 19th to 22th, 2019.

This time our central theme is going to be The Quest for Knowledge.

Knowledge has attracted the attention of philosophers since their earliest speculations. And in the second half of 20th century English language philosophy witnessed the revival of careful investigation on classical questions as to the nature, structure, and limits of knowledge, as well as its distribution in social groups. The 11th Principia International Symposium has as its main theme the contemporary discussions in Theory of Knowledge, under the heading The Quest for Knowledge. We welcome contributions that address any aspect of knowledge and other epistemic concepts, as well as critical assessments of historical and contemporary stances on the matter.

The ten previous symposia in this series have been devoted, respectively, to Principles in Philosophy and in the Sciences (1999), The Philosophy of Bertrand Russell (2001), The Philosophy of Willard van Orman Quine (2003), The Philosophy of Donald Davidson (2005), The Philosophy of Bas van Fraassen (2007), Charles Darwin and his impact on philosophy and the sciences (2009), The Philosophy of Nelson Goodman (2011), The Philosophy of Hilary Putnam (2013), Possible Worlds and their Applications in Philosophy and the Sciences (2015), and The Construction of Experience (2017).

This Symposium is being organized by the Epistemology and Logic Research Group (NEL-UFSC), in association with Principia, and supported by the Graduate Program in Philosophy, the Philosophy Department of Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil, and CAPES.
