CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
‘Anātman and Philosophy’ Conference
November 3th-5th, 2023 – University of Oxford
Submission Deadline: 7th July 2023
The organisers of the ‘Anātman and Philosophy’ Conference are delighted to now welcome submissions for talk abstracts.
The conference aims to reexamine dominant interpretations of a central Buddhist teaching of anātman and related concepts, as well as to consider anātman-inspired applications to issues in contemporary philosophy. This offers space for reflection on the nature of our current engagements with Indian-rooted and Buddhist philosophies. More information about is available on the conference website: https://anatmanconference.wordpress.com/.
We invite proposals from graduate students and early career researchers (within 5 years of PhD completion) for papers on any topic related to anātman within Buddhist philosophy, in connection with its broader cultural, historical and linguistic context, and/or in dialogue with contemporary philosophical issues. We particularly welcome submissions from members of groups underrepresented in philosophy and scholars from the ‘Global South.’
The three papers selected will form the opening panel on the first day of the conference, following a keynote by Prof Diwakar Acharya chaired by Shree Nahata. Each presentation will last 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of audience questions facilitated by the panel chair.
