Keynote Speaker:

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
NASEP invites scholars to submit abstracts on any aspect of early phenomenology. This encompasses all philosophical investigations into the members of the Munich and Göttingen circles, their place within the early period of phenomenology (roughly 1900-1939), their relationships to their students and contemporaries, and their contributions to the development of phenomenology. The aim of this conference is to investigate the works of early phenomenologists across a broad range of topics, including epistemology, ontology, ethics, mathematics, logic, aesthetics, politics, etc. Figures covered include, but are not limited to: Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, Alexander Pfänder, Adolf Reinach, Moritz Geiger, Carl Stumpf, Theodor Conrad, Johannes Daubert, Hans Lipps, Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Wilhelm Schapp, Dietrich Mahnke, Edith Stein, Alexandre Koyré, Jean Hering, Winthrop Bell, Alfred von Sybel, Maximilian Beck, Roman Ingarden, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Fritz Kaufmann, Theodor Celms, Aron Gurwitsch, Gustav Shpet, Gerda Walther, Wolfgang Köhler, Dorion Cairns, and Eugen Fink. We also welcome papers on the relationship between early phenomenology and the School of Brentano, Hermann Lotze, Theodor Lipps, the American Pragmatists, and the Neo-Kantians.
Abstracts should be prepared for blind review, and should not exceed 300 words. Deadline for submissions is extended to March 10th, 2013.
Both senior researchers and graduate students are welcome to submit proposals. Graduate students should indicate their status in the email with their submission.
