Announcement and Call for Papers
Berkeley's Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710) deals with a broad spectrum of philosophical issues in metaphysics, philosophical theology, epistemology, theory of perception, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, etc. An international conference will be held at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, from 6 to 9 April 2010, on the occasion of the tercentenary of the publication of Berkeley's Principles. Contributors are free to discuss any aspect of Berkeley's philosophy, highlighting, however, a distinct connection of their chosen topic with the Principles. The conference is sponsored by the International Berkeley Society and the Swiss FNRS.
A number of speakers have already been invited. Other speakers are free to submit papers.
We especially wish to encourage applications from doctoral students or from persons who have recently defended a doctoral dissertation. Their papers should be submitted to the organiser by May 2009 at the latest. A panel of three experts will select the five best papers, and their authors will be invited to the conference by December 2009.
