CfP: Irish Philosophy in the Age of Berkeley
5-6 April 2019, Trinity College Dublin
Scholars in any academic discipline are invited to submit abstracts of papers to be presented at the Irish Philosophy in the Age of Berkeley conference, to be held in Trinity College Dublin, 5 and 6 April 2019. The conference aims to explore Irish philosophy during the lifetime of George Berkeley (1685–1753). We welcome abstracts addressing one or more of the following issues:
- The Irish context of Berkeley’s philosophy.
- The philosophical work of other Irish thinkers active during Berkeley’s lifetime.
- The reception within Ireland of other philosophical figures, ideas, and movements.
- The reception of Irish philosophy outside Ireland.
Particular preference will be given to papers that address figures and/or topics outside the currently recognized philosophical ‘canon’, including the work of early modern women.
Papers presented at the conference will be published as part of the Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplements series, Cambridge University Press.
Abstracts should be submitted by 15 October, 2018.
Primary sponsorship for this conference is provided by the Royal Institute of Philosophy, together with the Mind Association. Additional support is provided by the Trinity Long Room Hub Making Ireland Research Theme and the Department of Philosophy, Trinity College Dublin.
