The Department of Philosophy at the Nepal Academy, Kathmandu, Nepal, together with the Department of Philosophy at the University of Malta, Malta are collaborating by organising a conference at the Nepal Academy on issues that are pertinent to the Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. The conference will be held on 19 December at the Nepal Academy Hall, Kathmandu.
Philosophy, as a discipline with its own distinct territory, is undergoing a current revival of interest that is encouraging to practitioners of the subject. The questions that philosophers of both traditions are engaging with appeal, not only to academic professionals, but also to a broader public that thirsts for a greater degree of understanding of issues that are central to their lives.
To this end, a call for papers is being issued for those who are interested in presenting a 20-minute paper (3,000 words max.).
Speakers are invited to discuss any theme related to:
- Metaphysics
- Philosophy of Technology
- Ethics
- Philosophy of Communication
- Political Philosophy
- Philosophy of Computer Games
- Comparative Philosophy
- Philosophy of Art
Those interested in participating are asked to submit an abstract of a paper (c. 300 words) by email to the seminar organising team. For Nepali contributors the abstract should be sent to dineshraj32@yahoo.com while international contributors should send their papers to niki.young@um.edu.mt by Friday 14 October.
Notification on acceptance of papers will be sent by Friday 28 October.
The deadline for submission of papers is Friday 2 December.
